I have two Jersey cows on green pasture, grass hay with 1 lb of 20% cattle cubes a day. I had High Magnesium Wind and Rain out free choice in the pasture and they occasionally ate some. It says on the bag cattle need 4 oz, per day.
When I moved the container into the barn breezeway because of all the rain and filled it with 6.5 lbs of new Wind and Rain, came back in a few of days and they had eaten the whole thing. One heifer is 6 months bred and the other is aged and open. Is this bad for them? Should I ration out 4 oz per head per day? They also have access to a selenium salt block in the barn lick.
