This starter kit includes one pound each of all 19 minerals shipped anywhere in the United States. Add white salt (in a separate container) from your local feed store and you’re all set!
Purchased individually, these bags retail for $168, so this is an affordable way to get started and see what your herd will be consuming. Reorder in 1-pound to 20-pound bags from our website.
Included are one pound each of:
Calcium (Ca), Iodine (I), Magnesium (Mg), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Silicon (Si), Sodium (Na), Sulfur (S), Vitamin C & B mix (CB), Vitamins A, D, & E mix (V4), Alkaline Neutralizer (CL), Acid Neutralizer (OH), Copper (Cu), Cobalt (Co), Boron (B), Manganese (Mn), Molybdenum (Mo), Selenium (Se) and Zinc (Zn). Please note: this does not include Iron. This kit includes exactly what is listed. FCE said iron is rarely used so they do not include it in most setups. You can order iron separately here.
Now in compostable tin tie bags – everything but the tin tie is compostable, hooray!
***You will need white salt from your local feed store to complete this system. Salt is added as the 20th mineral in the system, fed separately so they can consume only salt when they need.***

I can’t recommend this mineral buffet enough!! My goats have always had minerals available to them, but they didn’t consume very much and their coats were looking a little sad. I purchased this starter kit and they were gobbling up ALL the minerals!!! Their coats are so shiny now and I also noticed an increase in milk production!! I will never go back to the pre-mixed loose minerals for my herd. Thank you so much for making these minerals available in smaller sizes!!

When I first started learning about mineral buffets, I only found 25 lb bags that would have been way too much for my seven animals (not to mention my budget). This starter kit was perfect cost and amount wise, but the best part has been the ability to run our sheep and goats together without worrying about one or the other getting too much or too little. Will definitely buy again from Little Avalon.

I really appreciate how accessible this mineral system has been made. I couldn’t invest in the large bags/pallet but thanks to Megan and Little Avalon a small herd like mine has access to something so beneficial for the animals and inturn their stewards, and the land.
