    Using this stuff this year and I'm really impressed. No more expensive than bolus and much easier to administer.

    All trace at housing and then iodine at approximately 6 weeks before calving. It's noticable in the cows - good shine on them. Also have had no retained afterbirth. Have always used bagged minerals in the past and sprinkled it on silage but blood tests always showed low levels. Will be getting cows tested in april and will have blood taken to see what it's like.

    Bought from magenta as they had a special on it at the time.
