The dry season (April to November) in the top end of Australia has been excellent for Beachport Liquid Minerals this year. The clients using or products for the first time last year without exception reordered and told others about their success with BLM. The "BUSH Telegraph" certainly works well in the top end.

The Blue Cap+Phos mix that was requested by clients and potential clients last year was well received. There were the usual skeptics of "something new" that did their own blood tests, before and after and even a major rural outlet took the time to offer a blood test to our clients. Needless to say the positive results only help BLM's standing in the market place against far more expensive traditional livestock supplements.

The Green Cap (electrolyte low stress mix) has been a flag ship for BLM this year, this has been somewhat of a personal triumph for me, as I strongly believe as a stockman that stress and hydration of livestock while working in yards or travel needs to be addressed both for the livestock's sake and for $$ returns to the property.

With the season being so poor, for the land holders in the Gascoigne and Murchison areas of W.A. and also, the 350kg cap on live export meant that a lot of cattle are being carted huge distances. Clients have successfully used our green cap for trucking store cattle to southern properties, heavier cattle to abattoirs (see Go Go Station's testimonial) for introduction to feedlots and for dosing to freshly mustered scrub bulls before transport. The Green cap mix has been successful in all these applications and the "bush telegraph" has spread its capabilities far and wide.

Livestock owners in Southern Australia are using the Green Cap (electrolyte low stress mix) for transporting stock to slaughter and they are also getting the benefit of "low ph. levels" and less "dark cutters" when selling into a grid.

We have now arrived home for our southern summer and looking forward to catching up with our clients, and also following up on S.A. enquiries from our new web site.
