Florida homestead question of the day
Can Mini Zebu cattle use goat minerals?
Use a cattle-appropriate mineral program; do not substitute another species’ mineral by guesswork.
Mineral products differ in copper, salt, additives and intended intake. Other animals sharing access can create safety problems.
What to do
- Choose a product labeled for the cattle class.
- Keep it dry and monitor consumption.
- Consider forage, water and regional deficiencies.
- Prevent species with different tolerances from sharing it.
