Give your cattle the support they need with a single dose of Marks-Min®. This proven injectable provides essential trace minerals and Vitamin B12 for remarkable results.
Marks-Min Injectable Trace Mineral With Vitamin B12 for Cattle contains copper, manganese, zinc, selenium and vitamin B12, which are required for optimal health, production and fertility.
Sub-optimal trace mineral and vitamin B12 status at calving, mating and drying off has been shown to negatively impact production, reproduction and health.
Using an injectable supplement can improve trace mineral and vitamin B12 status at these critical times, promoting a healthy immune system, which is important in resisting disease, and has a positive impact on reproduction.

For Brad Nicholson of Braidwood, NSW, the connection and affection for the land and livestock he farms runs deep. Brad and wife Nicole purchased the farm, a picturesque 260 acres, back in 2007. Fast forward to today and Brad and Nicole run a farm management business that encompasses eight properties over 6,000 acres in total. Today’s gold is black - the 1200 purebred Angus breeders they enthusiastically run. Improving cow fertility is a significant focus for Brad. “I've always liked to be at the forefront of things, so when Marks-Min® became available I adopted it straight away. The fact that it's got a full complex of minerals that's fertility-driven is a huge plus for me because that's my focus; but the added bonus of B12 is really an energy-driver for our stock.”
