[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 969496, member: 15537"] My cattle have a place they like to eat dirt. I have been using a loose mineral by Southern States called beef breeder with Avail 4. I feed them as much of that as they want. Every spring when they are in the one pasture on top of the hill they will dig a small hole and eat dirt for a few days. It is only in the spring right around calving time. I rotationally graze, so they only have access to that place for a day or two before being moved on. I have often wondered what is in that dirt that they like. The mineral I use is one of the best offered by Southern States. Let us know what you find out. If you need a sample of dirt from the site, I can probably mail some to you. [/QUOTE]
