Full spectrum of sea minerals from our ancient Utah deposit
Added selenium, copper, manganese, cobalt, iodine, and zinc
Boosts herd immunity and reproductive health
Pair with feed or forage that is lacking trace minerals
SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY HERD
We know that no two cattle herds are the same. Geography, genetics, season, operation size, and many other factors can cause fluctuations in the nutritional needs of beef cattle. We know that one size doesn’t fit all.
OREGON STATE PREGNANCY STUDY
Supplementing trace minerals during the last trimester is extremely beneficial for mother and calf, even if they do not test as mineral deficient. Reinaldo Cooke, PhD, at Oregon State University, conducted a study on the effects of organic trace mineral supplements during the 3rd trimester.
IMPROVING IMMUNITY
Selenium is an antioxidant. Antioxidants, like selenium, keep excess free radicals in check and protect cells from oxidative stress. They accomplish this by neutralizing free radicals with the electron they need.
Once ingested, dietary selenium also becomes incorporated into at least 25 different proteins. These selenoproteins regulate the immune system and prevent it from harmfully overreacting. According to the National Institute of Health, “Dietary selenium (Se), mainly through its incorporation into selenoproteins, plays an important role in inflammation and immunity. Adequate levels of Se are important for initiating immunity, but they are also involved in regulating excessive immune responses and chronic inflammation.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Selenium 90 can be offered to all classes of livestock and is frequently used with cattle and sheep (follow ration instructions on packaging for each species).
Selenium deficiencies can be found in vet conducted blood tests, milk tests, and living liver biopsies. Poor reproductive and immune health are also a strong sign of deficiency for all species of livestock.
After switching to Redmond, some animals temporarily increase their mineral salt intake. Other mineral mixes contain byproducts and fillers that force them to slow their consumption; resulting in some mineral deficiencies. After Redmond helps normalize their blood mineral levels, their intake should taper off. They may also be craving extra electrolytes due to weather or life stage stresses.
