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.

Mineral Buffet Starter Kits and orders for small items will ship via USPS; mineral reorders and large orders (25lb minerals, 40 and 50lb kelp, etc) will ship via UPS for the most part.

Love this so much!!

I love this! I have been struggling for years on mineral deficiency in my goats. I just gave them a copper bolus so thought their hair loss was a zinc issue. I got the mineral buffet and they have been gobbling copper like it's candy. I wouldn't have given them more copper for another couple of months and would have overfed them zinc. I'm so relieved to know that they are getting what they need. This company is a blessing to my farm! Thank you!

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.
