Unlock Your Herd’s Potential: Join Our Spring Cattle Meeting

As we move toward the vital spring season, cattle producers know that preparation is key to a profitable year. Ensuring your herd has the right foundation for health, growth, and reproduction starts long before the grass turns green. That’s why Bear Creek County Store is excited to invite you to our annual Spring Cattle Mineral Meeting, an event dedicated to helping you achieve peak performance in your operation.

Join us on Thursday, February 12th, 2026, at 6:00 PM at The Rock Yard in Trenton, TX. This evening is designed to provide you with expert knowledge and practical strategies focused on one of the most critical, yet often overlooked, aspects of herd management: mineral nutrition. We’ll explore how Purina’s industry-leading products can help you unlock your herd’s full genetic potential.

Why Mineral Nutrition is a Game-Changer

While feed and forage provide the bulk of energy and protein, a targeted mineral program is the engine that drives essential biological functions. Without the right balance of macro and micro-minerals, cattle cannot effectively utilize other nutrients, leading to a cascade of performance issues. A sound mineral strategy is not an expense; it’s a direct investment in the profitability and sustainability of your herd.

A comprehensive mineral program can lead to significant improvements, including:

  • Enhanced Fertility and Conception Rates: Key minerals like copper, zinc, and manganese are crucial for reproductive health. Proper supplementation helps cows cycle back faster after calving, leading to tighter breeding seasons and a more uniform calf crop.
  • Improved Immunity: A strong mineral base fortifies the immune system, making your cattle more resilient against diseases and stress. This means healthier cows and calves with fewer treatment costs.
  • Optimal Growth and Development: From fetal development to weaning weights, minerals support skeletal growth, muscle development, and overall vitality in calves, directly impacting your bottom line.
  • Better Forage Utilization: The right mineral supplement helps cattle digest and extract more nutrients from the forage they consume, maximizing your existing resources.

Partnering with Purina for Proven Results

At our Spring Cattle Mineral Meeting, we will dive deep into the science behind Purina’s advanced mineral solutions. Backed by decades of research from their LongView Animal Nutrition Center, Purina develops products that deliver consistent and predictable results. We’ll have experts on hand to discuss specific mineral programs and feeding strategies tailored to the unique challenges and forage conditions of our area.

The evening’s discussion will cover essential topics such as:

  • Choosing the Right Mineral: Learn the difference between various mineral types and how to select the one that best complements your forage program and production goals.
  • Pre-Calving and Post-Calving Nutrition: Discover how to support your cows during the critical transition period to ensure a healthy calving season and quick rebreeding.
  • The Impact of Antagonists: Understand how certain elements in water or forage can interfere with mineral absorption and how to counteract them with a properly formulated supplement.
  • Year-Round Mineral Strategy: A successful program isn’t seasonal. We’ll explain the importance of providing a consistent, high-quality mineral source throughout the year to prevent deficiencies.

This meeting is your chance to engage with industry experts, ask questions specific to your operation, and network with fellow cattle producers from our community.
