[QUOTE="JW IN VA, post: 1271946, member: 21289"] I would feed loose mineral.Check the labels as they vary.You want to make sure the Calcium/Phospherous ratio is right for cows.Also feed a High Magnesium mineral in winter and spring to combat hypomagnesemia (grass tetany)Feed in a covered feeder or give some to them every few days in a trough,Rain will harden it.Then it becomes like an old vet once said" its like trying to get a drink of water from an ice cube". I do use tubs,sometimes to jack up the protein levels but am thinking more and more about a grain supplemnt for low protein feeds. [/QUOTE]
