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.

Helps me see what my goats need

Absolutely Amazing!!

This mineral buffet has been phenomenal so far and seems to be worth every penny! I’ve considered starting a mineral buffet for a while and decided to jump in, and I’m already so glad I did. My goats love it and it is fascinating to watch them go to seemingly random minerals, but it is exactly the mineral they need. I already need to refill the Silicon and need to top off a few others- none of which are what I would have expected to be eaten first. It’s amazing to see them get exactly what they need. Some of them were very excited and hung around “helping” me unpack the box and fill their mineral cups.

A real game changer!

We could not believe how much of certain minerals that our goats have consumed already! We had no idea just how deficient they were in certain minerals even though we manage their diets very closely! Can’t wait to see how their overall health improves on this system.
