Why Use This Mineral for Cattle on Fescue Pastures?

Tall fescue is a dominant forage in many grazing systems, but it can contain endophytes (fungal toxins) that may reduce mineral absorption, hinder weight gain, and affect reproductive efficiency in cattle. MasterGain® 16:8 Fescue Beef Mineral is specifically formulated to help offset these challenges by supplying bioavailable copper, essential vitamins, and key minerals that support immune function, fertility, and overall performance.

Best Seasons for Use:

✅ Spring, Summer, and Fall – Ideal for use when cattle are actively grazing fescue pastures, as it helps counteract the nutritional limitations and endophyte-related stress associated with fescue.
✅ Winter – Can be used if feeding stockpiled fescue or hay derived from fescue pastures to maintain mineral balance.

Feeding Directions:

• Provide Free-Choice Access – Offer MasterGain® 16:8 Fescue Beef Mineral in a clean, dry feeder with unrestricted access.
• Monitor Consumption – Target an average intake of 4 ounces per head per day; adjust feeder placement and availability as needed to achieve the desired consumption rate.
• Ensure Fresh Water Availability – Provide continuous access to clean, fresh water to support proper nutrient utilization and overall well-being.

Why Choose MasterGain® 16:8 Fescue Beef Mineral?

Cattle grazing on fescue pastures can face specific nutritional challenges, including lower mineral absorption, reduced weight gain, and heat stress due to endophyte toxins.
