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!

Awesome! Love it!

I’m blown away by how awesome the mineral buffet is!
My goats love it and this year I didn’t need to give BO-SE to my does or babies at birth because they weren’t low in selenium anymore!

Goats love the mineral buffet!!

When we started to out the minerals out the goats couldn't wait to check each one. They love it and even the babies are getting what they need. It is interesting to see which minerals they are going for. I really like that they know what they need and can get it with this system. I am a very happy goat owner with very happy goats!

Happy Goats!

Our goats are enjoying their new mineral buffet. I had a basic combination goat mineral available to them that they barely touched. It is interesting to see the minerals they are consuming. The buffet is just what they need.

Starter Kit Helped My Horse

My mare has been slightly off - vet said she was fine and so did everyone else but I didn’t agree. I wanted to do a sample first before investing in the larger amount straight from the source. Three days and she had a total glow up! Her needs included Cobalt (lots)and Silicon (some ) and she liked the iodine mineral better than kelp powder. I so appreciate this being an option to help me figure out what my mare needed.

Love this!!

I ordered this after looking at it for awhile. Goats loved it. Within 1 week had to order 1 mineral, after 2 weeks they were out of 4 more!! I have 7 goats. I've got it set up it both barns. Half in one barn and the other half in the other, only because I have 1 goat that is a jerk and a pig and doesn't like to share.
