Default Reminder - Minerals

This is the time your herd needs minerals the most. Antler growth is in full swing.....and the does will be dropping this month (majority speaking). They use these minerals to help them lactate.

I just went to put a little out.....and they've absolutely been murdering my site.

Just a reminder......

Have been putting out the minerals for the past 2-3 weeks already. They're hammering them at every location.

Aren't mineral sites bad for the spread of chronic wasting? ie.....saliva to saliva.....?

Not sure they're even legal here anyway.
