The BEST Minerals for Goats

We've been using this system in our own dairy goat herd for over three years.  They have never been healthier and we have thousands of herds across the country saying the same.  I sell them because I firmly believe these are the best minerals for goats and I will never go back to a blended mineral system.

For more info, see our page on why we chose mineral buffet and our tutorial for building your own mineral buffet feeder.  See ingredients and labels here.

Note: The herd sizes are very approximate.  You may find that your small herd consumes a lot more of one mineral than another larger herd might, but these sizes give a rough estimate to help you pinpoint where to get started.  You can reorder in 2#, 4#, 8# and 25# sizes of each mineral on the reorder page after you see which specific minerals your herd needs most.

Shipping: The small kit was designed to fit in USPS shipping weights so we can get it to you quickly. It typically arrives within 5 days across the country.  All larger kits will ship UPS and take 7-10 business days.

How soon will I need to reorder?

Consumption varies greatly between herds and we've found it is not possible to anticipate which minerals a specific herd will need, but you'll find that many of these will not need to be reordered for quite some time.  We have users still using the same original minerals a year later because their goats consume hardly any.  You will find that you'll have about 5 or 6 top minerals you'll need to reorder fairly quickly but as your animals get into balance, they'll consume less and less, or switch to another few favorites as their needs change.

Oct 2024 update: Life got too busy and I stopped tracking consumption, but approaching 3.5 years in on this system, I hardly refill my minerals.  It's a larger up front investment that leads to longer term stability.

Is this safe for _______?

According to FCE, the mineral buffet is safe for all species which makes this system ideal for mixed species herds.  That's one of my favorite parts, not worrying if my sheep or goats are getting enough!

Thanks to our awesome warehouse team, we now provide SAME-DAY shipping Monday-Friday on in-stock orders placed by 12p Pacific Time. During a storewide sale, due to higher than normal sales volume, orders should be shipped within 1-2 business days.

Orders 20 pounds and under ship via USPS, while orders over 20 pounds ship UPS. This means no orders over 20# can ship to PO Boxes, except to HI and AK where all orders ship USPS.

Best thing since sliced bread!

As a holistic health practitioner, AND goat breeder, this mineral system makes total sense to me. My wee herd maintains near perfect health. Zero deficiencies, unwanted parasite influence, and fewer costly vet bills.

I can't say enough good things about the mineral buffet. I've since introduced other breeders to this system after receiving compliments on my herd health, or in response to health challenges shared with me.
Keep up the sensible work!

Just getting started

I am very excited about this mineral buffet! My sheep and goats have had access to the minerals for less than a week and I can already tell a positive impact. The first thing that happened is that they ate everything up right away! They have always had free access to a mineral blend, so this is very telling to me that the minerals from this starter kit are much better than any blend I have offered. After they ate everything, they have started to become more selective and it gives me insight as to which minerals they are lacking, as well as confidence that they are now getting exactly what they need. Mineralization is such a root need for all things related to health and optimal function, so I am beyond thrilled to have discovered this product. Thank you so much!!!

COMPLETE Mineral Buffet Starter Kit

We order the 2# complete mineral starter kit on Black Friday 24’. Apparently so did MANY, MANY Others! There were some issues with vendors supplying them as demand was so high. I was blown away though at the constant level of communication and updates as to when they were reviving their raw material and when I could expect my order. It was such an incredible smooth process and more than worth the way! They have earned a customer for life! Plus I think my goats would kill me if I ever took these minerals away from them! They absolutely love the variety and ability to choose exactly what they want and need! We have 8 goats, the 2# starter kit was the perfect size for us! Great Job Avalon!
