Thanks for the info. That mineral is not available anywhere near me, but I wonder if one of the feed stores in Pueblo would consider stocking it. I'm currently using Purina goat blocks, and my goats LOVE them, but at the rate they disappear I'd love to find a better (and hopefully somewhat cheaper!) option. The Purina blocks are either a little too tasty or a little too crumbly. Even with all the minerals my goats consume, I still have to copper bolus a couple of times a year. I've read that selenium can block copper absorption, and we definitely have a lot of selenium around here. In my case it's probably a good thing Purina uses an oxide based selenium in their mix since I don't really want my goats absorbing even more of that stuff.
