United Salt Corporation
DATASHEET: RANCH HOUSE STOCK ROCK SALT
Product Description
United Salt's Ranch House Stock Salt is a consistent product conveniently available from the Hockley salt mine. The product is carefully screened and graded to recover the proper size for animal feeding. The stock gradation is virtually dust free. Since it is non-caking and free-flowing, no anti-cking additives are required or used.
Process
USC rock salt continues to be mined from natural salt deposits 1,500 feet below the earth's surface, as it has since the late 1920's. During processing, the salt is crushed and screened to the specific gradation suited for animal feed. The salt is stockpiled below ground. When required for packaging, the salt is hoisted to the surface where the product is warehoused for shipment.
Typical Bulk Density
80-82 Lbs. per cubic foot
Package
