I used some scrap gutter material from one of my recent jobs to create a custom mineral feeder for my mobile sheep shelter that I pull along each time I move them.
I’ve heard varying opinions on the importance of minerals when it comes to raising sheep. I tend to believe most shepherds and books by shepherds when they talk about the importance of minerals. Selenium seems to be especially important here in the northeast as it is lacking in our soils. Minerals seem to be important for human health as well and I would bet what the animals eat end up in the meat.
What has your experience been with minerals wether as a farmer or as a health conscious human?#minerals #regenerativeagriculture #rotationalgrazing #grassfed #repurposed
