I've been looking on the Purina website, seeing whats new, and then I found the mineral section. We've had a salt block out there for them, simliar to the horses (it's what the feedstore owner recommended), but now that it's almost gone, I was thinking maybe a mineral block would be better? Then I saw that they had a bag of minerals that you leave out as well, so my question is, is one better then the other? The block: http://goat.purinamills.com/OURPRODUCTS ... fault.aspx The bag: http://goat.purinamills.com/OURPRODUCTS ... fault.aspx Thanks!
I recommend The bag...loose ..... with the block ...a goat can lick and chew on it all day and may not get out ....what there body needs.....
I prefer the loose purina minerals, but if you don't have a place to put the loose minerals then the block works too. :thumb:
I prefere loose, not only do they get out of it waht they need easier then a block, but its easier to keep it dry and keep them from going poop on it. beth
I keep 2 blocks and 2 containers of loose minerals out for my goats at all times. If you can get both that would be ideal. Mine prefer the block over loose, I think it tastes better, but I think having a choice out there is good for them.
