“What makes Right Now� Mineral so special?”
“Why does Right Now� Mineral have so many colors?”
“My cattle don’t have to eat very much of the mineral they’re on, why should I switch to a product that they’ll eat more of?”
“There’s a bunch of salt in your mineral, why should I pay $600/ton for salt?”
“There isn’t enough (pick one: Copper, Selenium, Iodine) in Right Now� Mineral! Don’t you know we are deficient around here?”
“My mineral has sulfur & iron listed on the tag and I know my cattle need them, but they’re not on your tags; what are you hiding?”
“When I look at the ingredients on the mineral tag, I see ‘grain products, molasses, mineral oil & fat’… these aren’t minerals, why are they in there?”
“Why don’t you just put minerals in the bag and let me add my own salt? I would save a pile of money that way!”
“My cattle eat {Emerald or Bronze} just right but [they don’t eat or eat too much] {Bronze or Emerald,} can’t I just stay on that product all the time?”

“Where should the mineral feeders be placed?”
“How many mineral feeders do I need to put out?”
“How often should I put out fresh mineral?”
“Should I add salt?”
“If I need to feed salt, should I mix it with the mineral?”
“How much mineral should my cattle eat?”
“Sometimes my cattle eat too much mineral and other times they hardly eat any, what is wrong with your mineral?”
“How do I figure out how much my cattle are consuming?”
“My cattle are not eating enough mineral, they must not need it, right?”
“My cattle are eating too much mineral, what do I do?”
“My cows were consuming about 3 to 4 ounces a day, then as we get into the breeding season I have to put out more mineral. I figure they may be eating around 6 ounces. Isn’t that too much? How can I afford that?”
