[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 888097, member: 17767"] Thanks to all. I think getting minerals into your cattle is a hard nut to crack. I don't use a lot of feed. Just enough to get them to consume the minerals. I have started putting two cups of minerals into the feed. The problem I see with free choice is the uncertainty that the needed minerals are getting into the animal. I have one of those circular free choice feeders where there are three compartments covered by a heavy round flap that they lift with their head. It works fine but I am around my cows enough to know that a couple never use the thing. In addition, the ones that do don't really know if they are getting the right amount. I don't know. I just feel like there needs to be a baseline amount getting into their system. [/QUOTE]
