What's your thoughts on free choice single mineral?

[@rvwfarm]

Hello! Thank you for watching! I am totally just learning myself, but my understanding is that when you're grazing, free choice mineral is your only real option? (We have always used one of the premixes from Premier1 free choice) If you are talking about a mineral supplement meant for all livestock, I had always heard / read that those are inappropriate for sheep, but I know people who use them without problems. However, I'm trying to keep my ewes productive for a long life and I have found with other animals that what works when they are 2 year olds doesn't necessarily work when they are 7 and I think that's what's happening on our farm. I am learning that so much of keeping livestock is knowing your animals and your land, that you should take anything I say with a big grain of salt - trace minerals optional 😉
