    Biochar added to the dry lick has the same affect as kelp and diatomaceous earth . The rate you use can be as little as 2-5% . The biochar also will affect methane production in the stomach . A higher rate though will also have a beneficial reaction by dung expelled by the cows will be laden with biochar (and excess nitrogen) , deposited on the ground for dung beetles and soil microbes to process , creating free fertiliser

      Thank you! We purchase ours from a feed store in Cullman Alabama. A lot of it you can get from amazon but its much more expensive. Usually your local feed store can order this stuff in (they just don't always like to and try to sell chemicals they have on hand). We are actually going to be doing an update to this since we have changed our recipe slightly.

    Do you know what farmers used to do to give their herds when we could not just go to the store and buy the minerals?

      Deep rooted plants bring the nutrients up to the surface. Long time established herbal ley pastures don’t require cows to be on minerals it’s present in the vegetation. It’s the goal we are striving for

      @@katwilliams2950 Its a constant process and really depends on how you strengthen the vegetation, climate, and local plants. For us its a relatively quick process because we have such long growing seasons that I anticipate being there with my first paddock after 3 years. Though to be honest my cows go through very little minerals anymore so it appears we are getting closer.
