[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 740299, member: 12607"] For the most part, those red/brown 'trace mineral salt blocks' are not worth what you pay for them. Most don't contain enough selenium to really be of much benefit, and if you're in a part of the country where soils are deficient in copper, the large amounts of iron oxide added to the blocks as a filler & coloring agent will block efficient absorption of copper - actually making copper deficiency worse. Switch to a good loose free-choice mineral formulated for the needs of livestock in your area. [/QUOTE]
