[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1243764, member: 14713"] Cubes with magnesium added are quite popular in this area at this time of year to prevent grass tetany. Turn cattle out on fresh pasture and try to keep them eating hay usually doesn't work too well. Same cattle will come running when they hear the cake feeding pickup coming :lol: Lick tubs with added magnesium are another way to get mag into cattle, but most always at a higher cost than cake. Most cattlemen around here have abandoned the 5 gallon bucket cake feeding method and have gone to overhead bins with a cake feeder in the pickup. As mentioned, cake is popular because sweet feed really needs to be fed in bunks, and bunks usually aren't practical for feeding a herd of cows out on range. [/QUOTE]
