Typical "hard" blocks of any kind are by composition, make it difficult for animals to ensure adequate consumption. Your tubs likely provide sufficient salt. If in doubt, provide salt in loose form.They have salt blocks and a mineral tub

They only nibble at it when I give them some and dont really seem to care.. they seem really happy on grass. They have salt blocks and a mineral tub, they kinda even tried the cake I was giving the big ones. I'm scared they will bloat so I have medicine on standby but idk they act like big cows now. Although they tried sucking on each other tonight which they havnt done in a long time. Thought that was weird. (To be fair it was right when I got out a jug to feed my bees and i think they had flashbacks) lol
I cant thank everyone enough for all the help in this thread!!! I feel like this cow experience so far has been awesome thanks to all the great advice.
