[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1580987, member: 27490"] Here it is Kenny. I purchased 7 fifty pound bags of VitaFerm Concept Aid during calendar year 2018. This information was based on receipts in my tax expenses for feed. I include minerals as feed when I complete Schedule F. This does not include cost of loose white salt. In accordance with VitaFerm, I put out loose white salt with the Vitaferm. Thus, I put out a total of 350 pounds of VitaFerm mineral in 2018. I have 20 head of cows. They calve in September/October. That figures to 20 head of mature cows and 20 head of calves. I keep most of the calves for at least a year from birth. I sell breeding stock. The bulls are kept for a year and leave the farm after a BSE. The heifers stay approximately 18 months and are either retained or sold as breds. This is figured as 20 head and each calf is figured as a half head. Since some of the calves do not go all the way to the end of the year due mainly to culling of breeding stock, I rounded down to 26 head. Thus, 26 head and 350 pounds equals an intake of approximately 13 pounds of mineral per head per year. That is .57 ounces per day. What is not in these figures is WASTE. If you consider waste of mineral, probably only about .5 ounces is actually consumed. Total cost at 36/bag- $252 [/QUOTE]
