At Shur-Gain and Wright’s Feeds ‘N Needs, we know the importance of carefully formulating minerals and ingredients that provide high bio-availability nutrients.

Proper levels of minerals must be fed to beef cows during all stages of their production.  Deficiencies of minerals can result in many significant problems, including reduced feed efficiency, poor reproductive performance, metabolic disorders such as retained placentas, compromised immune function, weight loss and many others.  Providing the correct mineral balance and accounting for bio-availability is critical for optimum performance.  Minerals are a vital component of any successful beef cow feeding program.  Both macro and trace minerals play a substantial role in energy metabolism, growth, enzyme production, bone formation, milk production and other functions.

For the Cow/Calf herd, Shur-Gain and Jones’ Feed Mill have several minerals and products designed to meet the nutrient requirements of beef cattle.  From creep feeding to gestating feeding, contact us  for more information on choosing the best product for your needs. Customized solutions are also available.
