[QUOTE="Mid South Guy, post: 871193, member: 17328"] I mix my own. About 2 parts cottonseed meal and one part salt replacing 100# of salt with my free choice mineral on a per ton basis. I try to keep consumption to about 1 lb/hd/day. You control it by adjusting the salt/meal ratio. Fall calving cows get the same as CB said and eat about 3# a day. Don't imagine you have much cottonseed meal up there. Soybean meal would be better, but not much around here. The blocks are basically the same except they will have more grain in them, some urea, and different limiters and hardness in an attempt to control consumption. I've never had much luck with the blocks. They either ate way too much or none at all. The local co-op mixes a couple of range meals and sell them bagged. [/QUOTE]
