The Casual Cattle Conversations Podcast: How Ranchers Can Get the Most out of Their Mineral Program

How Ranchers Can Get the Most out of Their Mineral Program

Mineral programs a key component to a ranch’s success considering their impact on conception rates, weaning weights and health. Proper mineral levels in a cow before and during pregnancy also set her calf up for success. But it’s an investment and like all investment needs to be implemented correctly for ranchers to see the best possible return.

Russell Carrell – Beef Technical Service Specialist with Cargill Animal Nutrition – helps ranchers across the country troubleshoot challenges on their operations and determine how their mineral program may or may not need to be adjusted.
