Shepherd’s Choice™ Management Tip
In areas with excess moisture and humidity, add an anti-caking agent to the trace mineral salt to prevent the mixture from clumping. As an alternative, reduce the amount of salt offered to a weekly supply, or less.Several anti-caking agents are specific for salt. They are calcium aluminum silicate, calcium silicate, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate or magnesium silicate. The inclusion rate should start at 1% of the salt mixture and can go up to 2%. Diatomaceous earth can also be used at a 2% inclusion rate.

I have been using this product for years, I used to get it from Pipestone, and the quality is great and my animals do great on it. I use it on all my sheep and my lambs find it very palatable.
Reese N from North Dakota
This product works good for what I need up in our area. I like it because you mix with salt and I’m done. No need to mix with grain.
Roger H from Iowa
Been using for several years with Pipestone, glad to have Premier 1 offer it.
