What is the best lick tub before breeding season?

The short answer

The Masterfeeds Rite-Lix Blueprint Breeder 18 is built for it. It has 18% protein from all natural sources, 100% of its trace minerals from Bioplex, 100% Sel-Plex selenium, Actigen and 1,250 IU/kg of vitamin E. It is labelled for both beef cattle and horses, so it also suits times of stress or high mineral demand. Pipestone Farm Supply carries the 200 lb tub.

This is a pickup item at our Millet, Alberta location.

Should I use the 16 AN or the Breeder 18 tub?

Use the Rite-Lix 16 AN for cows and calves needing supplemental protein on good forage. Choose the Breeder 18 before breeding, in times of stress, or when horses share the pasture.
