WHY IS IT CALLED 10 FINE
10 Fine is sifted through a #10 sieve to separate finer granules from courser granules.
WHY DO MY ANIMALS EAT IT SO FAST?
After switching to Redmond, some animals temporarily increase their mineral salt intake. Other mineral mixes contain byproducts and fillers that force them to slow their consumption; resulting in some mineral deficiencies. After Redmond helps normalize their blood mineral levels, their intake should taper off.
They may also be craving extra electrolytes due to weather or life stage stresses.
ISNT IT BAD FOR THE SOIL
Many decades ago, Dr. Maynard Murray discovered that measured amounts of sea minerals are extremely beneficial to soil health and plant growth.
When applied in the proper amount, sea minerals invigorate microbial life and improve the electrical conductivity of your soil.
IS 10 FINE SAFE FOR PREGNANT ANIMALS?
Yes! In fact 10 Fine can help pregnant livestock get the minerals they need for a healthy birthing season.
HOW MUCH IRON DOES MY HERD NEED
Iron is categorized as an essential trace or micro-element, meaning only a small amount is needed...but that small amount is absolutely critical for your herd’s health. Learn more about iron requirements for cattle.
DO I NEED TO FEED ANY OTHER MINERALS?
When given a choice, animals choose Redmond over any other salt or mineral program. Normally intake on any other mineral product is reduced significantly, especially if Redmond Conditioner is fed with Redmond Salt. Depending on the soils and feed quality in the area, they may need a little extra of certain minerals. Leaving access to some kind of heavier mineral mix will show whether they need it or not. You can also use our products with added minerals like Selenium 90.
