Are Cattle Mineral Companies RIPPING YOU OFF? Lane’s Solution

With cattle mineral, ranchers can feel like they're just tossing cash out the window. "And that's the worst thing for a rancher to feel like," says Lane Larsen, the ranch manager and general manager of the Diamond Cross Ranch in Birney, Montana.
Lane was frustrated with the "outrageous" mineral cost, and for good reason. Having tried both lick tubs and loose mineral from various companies, he concluded that a lot of those mineral packages just don't work. Or they do work, and the cattle consume it... they OVERCONSUME it. And do the mineral companies care how your cows are doing? Do they care about overconsumption? Lane will tell you... "In fact, the more they consume, the more you're supposed to buy," He says. "It pisses me off."
So, Lane decided to find a solution to the problem. A solution to low cost inputs and maximum benefit. "To find a mineral that actually gave back." And what did he find?
"A game changer."
Open cows, pounds you don't wean, sickness, or forage that goes out the back end don't make you money, do they?
A healthy herd drives profits higher. And a profitable ranch can withstand volatile markets and unpredictable weather. Gain control of your future.
