[QUOTE="jt, post: 99195, member: 238"] AZ... at a recent cattlemans meeting we had a representative of one the feed companies speak on minerals and the different products they offered. he made that statement about not needing extra salt, and at first i thought he was way off base, and is just trying to sell more of his product. but the more i thought about it, i began to think he might be right on. :?: some of the thoughts that i have had on this is that there are times when my cattle will not eat near about as much mineral as i am told they should, but they will eat the salt. if they wanted salt bad enough, and none was available except for what is in the minerals, they might consume more minerals. he said that we give our cows way too much salt over what is required. this has been kind of interesting to me, and i just wanted to hear what some of you thought about this. thanks jt [/QUOTE]
