Beef Cattle Mineral

Supplementation

When cattle are out on pasture in the hot, humid summer months it is critical that minerals be provided to insure an adequate mineral balance in their diets. A Virginia Tech mineral mix formula that works very well for all classes of beef cattle is a mix containing 1/3 trace mineral salt, 1/3 dicalcium phosphate and 1/3 feed grate limestone.

If you are concerned about a possible selenium deficiency (which is widespread in Virginia) you can alter the mineral mix as follows: 30 percent of each of the above mentioned ingredients plus 10 percent of a 0.6 percent selenium premix. This mix will meet the selenium requirement of beef cattle as well as their other mineral requirements. Be sure to mix these ingredients thoroughly before offering them . to the cattle.
