[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1798373, member: 42463"] I'm not saying that there might be some benefit to loose mineral... somewhere. But it seems like a lot of people get caught up in complicated solutions to simple (or largely non-existent) problems and the... more you spend, the better the solution... syndrome. My point being that all inputs accumulate in an industry with small returns on investment. I've owned cattle in three states and visited lots of other places and I have my doubts that the local, more expensive options are an improvement for most people. A lot of people are sold on the idea that various things are "cheap insurance" when all they really are is more expense to assuage some kind of fear they are being sold. I've heard there are soils in Michigan that have some weak mineral contents, and I'm sure there are other places too. But somehow cattle thrive all over the world, and have thrived in most of the U.S. before expensive minerals, pretty much forever. But as you say, you do you and I'll just keep questioning anyone selling me something. [/QUOTE]
