It is my understanding that they are selling all the 3 YO's and older in the Spring AND the Fall sale.. so they should still have some...

Very interesting thread.. anybody hear any reports from the sale? It's not on AAA yet

Local guy here around me. Not registered just commercial

Agreed! I could be wrong, but I expect ALOT of money to be spent tomorrow.

I have heard nothing but good things about DVF. Apparently, they have decided to sale every female they have over 3 years old between this sale and the fall sale... some pretty big time donors and herd builders for sale, at least in my opinion.

I actually won't be attending the sale..I am going to pick up some Hereford heifers I have bought instead!! :D :D :D I just saw the sale book on AAA and was very impressed. If you haven't seen it, you should definitely check it out!

Anybody going to the DVF sale tomorrow? Looks to be a pretty stellar offering...

Congrats!

I don't cut it with anything. The 1% is thick enough that it puts kind of a "sheen" on the cows when I spray them. It coats them really well. As I stated before, it works extremely well for me, but I am not battling "neighbor flies" because there are no cattle that border mine...that could...

I spray it on with a regular garden sprayer

CB...What do you think about the Martin's Synergized??

I wouldn't say my old system was "broken", but conception time frame and overall health can always be improved upon and I believe the mineral program is something that may have warranted a change in an attempt to improve these things. Things may not be "broken", that doesn't mean they can't be...

I use the TN Co-op Minerals because that is really the only option within a 45 minute drive of my house.. I could get other options, like VitaFerm or other Custom blends made, but the time/hassle to get them to me is not worth the difference....

Well..yesterday I implemented the new mineral program. I am now feeding a "somewhat" high end balanced mineral (loose) free choice rather than Hi-Mag and I put out regular white salt blocks with the loose mineral. I am interested to see what the consumption of both will be because all I had out...

It definitely acts as a limiter to mineral consumption, but my reservation is will the cows continue to get sufficient minerals if loose salt is available? I am not sure I have enough confidence in the old addage that "they know what they need and they'll eat the minerals they are supposed to."

How many of you who feed a complete mineral also put out straight salt as well? Blocks or loose salt?

Cool. Keep me posted...

I agree.. the last 3 bulls I have ran with the herd have all ranked top 5% for Docility and I have never had this issue

I think you'll be satisfied. Let me know what ya think when you use it

I understand what you are saying. I as well try to raise my herd to the best of my ability and give them every chance to reach their full potential within reason (hence why I brought up the "mineral debate" in the first place. I was more or less asking if you feel that the mineral & additives...
