[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 920699, member: 6897"] 50 lbs. of salt for 100 cows ??? That's like giving 1/4 cc of penicillin to cure a respiratory infection. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are the type thing you find to be a problem in the herd "after the fact". Perhaps all is well now but you are exposing your cattle to serious problems unless the diet of your cattle meets all recommended daily requirements for vitamins/minerals and few do..perhaps yours are the exception. I'll let you do your own research...As for the salt blocks. If you want them to have salt at least supply loose salt so they can get what they need quickly and get out of the way for the other cattle to have access. [/QUOTE]
