To Mr. Turner who earlier asked
for a producer of goat milk:
In response to Mr. Turner’s
question we may be in a position to
buy suitably produced goat milk in
the spring of 1982. To date our
production has been on a very
small scale but the addition of
more sophisticated equipment by
that time will enable us to produce
from a larger volume of milk. If

1 need trace minerals
specifically manganese, calcium,
phosphorus, magnesium and
selenium. Where can 1 buy them?
Also, how are cow beets best fed to
cattle?
Mr. Kamada
In your search lor trace
minerals, why not try local
mineral suppliers such as Young’s
Minerals, Vigortone or Ag King?
Also try your local feed suppliers
and feed mills, most keep a large
supply of needed minerals.
According to Harold Harpster,
animal scientist at Penn State,
when feed beets two cows,
farmers should take a few
precautions: First beets should be
run through a hammemull and
then mixed with a dry ration. Beets
alsb can be mixed with some com
silage. Mixing beets with a ration
increases the probability that the
cow will eat it and that tt can be
eaten safely. You should limit the
beet content to a third of the ser
ving - keeping it two-thirds dry
ration. The size of the beet is im
portant. Cattle have choked from
whole cull potatoes and a beet of
similar size would be no different.
Once eaten, beets may be
reactive in the rumen and could
