[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1798470, member: 12520"] Well [USER=42463]@Travlr[/USER] I get in trouble over this argument all the time too. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If you don’t know if/what you are or are not lacking what are you doing buying mineral? Buying mineral could actually exaggerate a problem. Mineral salespeople don’t like to tell you that. I have been feeding a mineral for 3 years now that is formulated for my region but not my ranch specifically. So far the results are mixed. I have noticed a slight uptick in calves born in first cycle and in first 30 days. Over 70% in first cycle and 90% in 30 days. But we always did well in this regard. We also always had very good conception rates. Herd health has not changed, weaning weights have improved slightly but have been going up since before mineral. More grass and better grass management gets more credit from me than the mineral but I’m going to continue with it for now. [/QUOTE]
