[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 642572, member: 7509"] Aaron, that is interesting about feeding mineral once a week and letting need "build up". About the brown mineral blocks vs loose or lick tubs: good mineral is expensive. The raw materials are just plain high cost. The blocks are meant to be low cost which means low content of the expensive minerals. Good (=expensive) mineral can save many times its cost at calving time in some areas with deficiencies. Esp with low quality winter hay. Mixing salt and mineral forces cattle to take in salt to get the mineral they need. Better to let them decide what they need by separating salt and mineral. jmho.
