Selecting the right mineral supplement is important for maintaining healthy cattle, achieving optimal growth and enhancing reproductive efficiency. Minerals and vitamins are necessary for practically all metabolic functions in cattle. Deficiencies may result in poor performance, deformities in growth and even death. Your MFA livestock expert can help select the right minerals for your operation’s needs. Find the MFA location nearest you here.

Ricochet supplies highly bioavailable forms of essential minerals along with MFA Shield Technology to improve colostrum, immunity and animal performance when fed to cows 60 days prior to calving and for 60 days after calving. Feeding Ricochet year-round is successful without using a different high-magnesium mineral in the fall-summer or a breeder mineral for the breeding season. The levels of fortification in Ricochet products make it a superior breeder mineral. Ricochet is available nonmedicated and in a medicated formula to control hornflies.
