I bought the Morton's Trace Mineral Salt at $8.50 per 50 lb. bag. The HI MAG 14% Mineral has alot more calcium-MonoCalcium and DiCalcium Phosphate which if anything would theoretically help a buck to produce more antler growth. I usually buy the trace minerals and then the DiCalcium Phosphate separate and then mix them but your product would eliminate that. I haven't seen that specific mineral mix at any of the feed stores near me. I will be asking them to order some though for next year.

Here is the Analysis of the Morton's Trace Salt.
Salt Not less than 93% Not more than 98%
Zinc Not less than 3500 PPM
Manganese Not Less than 2800 PPM
Iron Not Less than 1750 PPM
Copper Not Less than 350 PPM Not More than 450 PPM
Iodine Not Less than 70 PPM
Cobalt Not Less than 70 PPM

After comparing these two it is obvious the HI MAG 14% contains more varied beneficial minerals while the Morton's Trace Salt is mainly..... SALT.

There is one benefit... The Morton's Trace Mineral is brownish red in color and looks exactly like sandy soil when dumped and mixed in a mineral site with existing dirt.
I will be looking for the HI MAG from now on. Still learning!
