Mineral Supplements for Your Sheep and other Livestock

[Farmfresh]

Here is a subject of great importance that is not often covered by most homesteading info. I thought a little video should be in order.

I hope it helps some of you new to livestock

@Farmfresh , you showed a video of lead training a lamb. What kind of lead rope were you using? I need something that will work on all sizes of sheep. The old halters we inherited with this farm are breaking so it's time to pick something out.

Tortoise I got my sheep and lamb halters from Premier1 Supplies.

I love this company they have lots of things that we homesteaders need and great prices.

Yes, they have great products. I love the yoke looking holder for sheep & goats....great idea. The customer service is good -- they actually use them!! So, they know what they (& you) are talking about. In fact, I need to order a couple of the heavy step ins for the electric netting. Thanks for a reminder.

I like that they offer free instructions for things like feeder & hay racks to build. Helpful hints with many things.

I really liked the information on sulfur block here by FF. I use sea kelp and salt mix for my loose minerals but will definitely be looking for a sulfur block as well...I imagine the ingestion of the sulfur also repels parasites of all kinds, both internal and external.
