Most cattle producers provide minerals and vitamin supplements during winter and spring, but some may not provide those supplements when pastures are green and growing. 🌱 This practice might cut production costs in the short term, but it can prove extremely costly in the long run.

Minerals and vitamins are a very small but extremely important element of cattle nutrition, playing vital roles in reproduction, immunity and growth. Cattle who do not receive proper mineral and vitamin nutrition will not grow or reproduce as quickly or efficiently as their well-supplemented counterparts.

Mineral and vitamin supplementation should be thought of as an insurance policy. Maintaining high-quality pastures for your cattle will help you meet the majority of their nutritional needs, but also providing free-choice access to a complete mineral and vitamin supplement will help ensure that ALL of your cattle’s nutritional needs are being met.

SWEETLIX® offers a wide range of high-quality mineral and vitamin supplements to ensure that your cattle’s nutritional needs are met, not only in the summer, but year-round. Additionally, these minerals come in a variety of forms; convenient pressed blocks, poured blocks, low-moisture blocks or loose minerals are all available from SWEETLIX to best fit your management style and your cattle’s needs. Also, check out our new Blueprint® line of minerals, provided in a highly bioavailable form to meet the advanced demands of today’s modern genetics and to protect the environment from unnecessary over-supplementation through less bioavailable mineral forms.

Let's take a look at using Crystalyx to help manage grazing distribution in your pastures. 🌾

The idea is that, in addition to using the supplement to provide daily nutritional supplementation to your cattle, we will use it to manipulate the grazing of your herd into areas they would not typically frequent. We once referred to this as having your supplement “multitask.” 🐂

Any lazy old cow will quickly consume the grass next to a water source, creek or other riparian area. Distance from water and steepness of grade tend to cause cattle to overgraze forage around water tanks, creeks or ponds. The trick is to get the cow (and her calf) to walk away from that water source and graze other pasture areas that they tend to avoid. These would be uplands and remote sections of your pastures that are not very close to water sources. Such areas can be found in huge pastures in the western U.S. or in smaller, irregularly shaped pastures in the eastern U.S. that are not well watered or may have steeper areas that cattle avoid.

☀️Summer is in full swing - and we are in the middle of the hottest days of the year! Follow these storage and handling guidelines for optimal success with your Bovalyx® low moisture blocks during these hot summer days:

✅ Store in a cool dry place. Keep supplement containers out of direct sunlight.

✅ Make sure supplement containers are stored upright on a smooth flat surface and nothing is placed directly on top of the product.

✅ If hot temperatures persist, be sure supplement containers are not stacked more than two high to limit the weight on the bottom row of supplement containers.

Every operation deals with three changes in the fall:
🍁Fewer hours of sunlight
🍁Lower temperatures
🍁Higher energy requirements in lactating cows

Forage availability and quality are the driving factors of cow herd performance. Matching supplementation strategies to available forage resources and time constraints can help achieve results that translate to profitability in today’s beef production system.

CRYSTALYX®️ products allow producers to optimize their forage resources while maximizing the efficiency of both supplement offerings and on-farm labor.

Once we have identified what management steps need to be taken, it is important determine what resources we have to address the nutritional requirements of our cowherd.

In areas that utilize corn stalk or dormant forage grazing, performance is often limited by the amount of protein available to the herd. When calves are weaned, we can actually improve body condition scores in our herd with low cost grazing and protein supplementation.

Incorporating Blueprint® and providing protein supplementation is as simple as it gets. There are two ways you can provide this high-level nutrition to your cowherd:
➡ Blueprint 20% Cake can be hand fed
➡ CRYSTALYX® low-moisture blocks have both 20% and 30% protein options for free choice delivery.
