Product Description
Framework 365 Mineral Pasture Breeder Aide AFC is a free-choice, loose mineral supplement formulated for beef cattle on pasture before and during breeding season.
Features & Benefits
Calcium and phosphorus
A 2 to 1 calcium to phosphorus ratio is ideal for cattle on pasture, which tend to be deficient in phosphorus. Phosphorus also plays a significant role in reproductive efficiency.
Optimal mineral fortification
Formulated to exceed NRC recommendations for trace minerals, helps overcome antagonists and support optimal animal health and performance.
Trace mineral amino acid complexes
More readily available forms of copper, zinc, manganese and cobalt, compared to inorganic sources, support a healthy immune system, overall cattle performance and reproductive performance.
Optimal vitamin fortification
Vitamins A, D and E support growth, metabolism, reproductive performance and proper immune system function.
Highly palatable
A mineral does no good if cattle won't eat it. Addition of salt and other highly palatable ingredients keep cattle seeking out the mineral feeder.
Rain-Cote
Reduces loss of mineral exposed to wind and weather, improves water resistance and reduces 'bricking-up' in wet weather.
AFC™ for horn fly control
AFC™ (Altosid®) prevents the emergence of adult horn flies from the manure of treated cattle. This product should be fed throughout the fly season to help keep cattle comfortable and grazing.

Feeding Directions
Feed this product to cattle only. When used as directed, this product will provide sufficient S-methoprene insect growth regulator to prevent the emergence of adult horn flies from manure of treated cattle. Existing adult horn flies will not be affected. Start feeding before horn flies appear and continue use until cold weather marks the end of the horn fly season. Allow free choice to cattle. Cattle should consume an average of 0.4 ounces of this product per 100 lbs. of cattle body weight per day, which is equivalent to 4 ounces per day for a 1,000 pound cow.
- Assure cattle are not starved for nutrients in this product by providing them prior to feeding this product.
- This product contains added copper. Do not feed to cattle in close proximity to sheep or other species that have a low tolerance to supplemental copper.
- Offer cattle 50 pounds of this product for every 15 head of cattle.
- Remove all other self limiting nutritional supplements while the cattle are consuming this product.
- Locate this product where cattle congregate (watering, loafing, shade areas).
- Replenish this product on a regular basis as needed.
- If intake of this product is below 0.4 ounces per 100 lbs. cattle body weight per day, increase the number of feeding locations and/or change location(s) to areas more frequented by cattle.
- If intake of this product is above 0.4 ounces per 100 lbs. cattle body weight per day, reduce the number of feeding locations and/or change location(s) to areas less frequented by cattle.
- Introduction of this product after adult horn fly infestation is established will require treatment of cattle with adulticides if elimination of the adult fly population is desired.
