🐐 Time for another random fact with Broken A Ranch! 🐐
Did you know?
Goats need copper in their diet, but sheep generally cannot tolerate the same levels of copper that goats need.
Copper plays an important role in coat color, immune function, reproduction, growth, and overall health. Goats that don't receive enough copper may develop rough coats, faded coloring, poor growth, reduced fertility, or become more susceptible to illness.
GOAT TIP:
Always use minerals specifically formulated for goats. Sheep and goat mineral needs are very different, and using the wrong mineral can create health problems for your herd.
Do you offer loose minerals free-choice to your goats?
