[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1827844, member: 22295"] We started using Vita Ferm Concept Aid mineral 7-8 years ago. Have tried other minerals because of price. We don’t preg check and consistently wean a 95% calf crop most in 60 days. With the severe drought we had more calves born in the 60-90 day window but will still be at least 95% unless something drastic happens in the next two weeks. Started using stress tubs about a year after the minerals. Noticed an immediate improvement. Tried Purina tubs but they never consume enough. I tried their Heat minerals but never seen the same results. I feel their products are top quality. When we AI I feel they improve conception rates. I’m like you we have few issues weaning. If it will stop bawling and walking 24-36 hours sooner I feel I will be able to justify it at $1.50 per dose but not at $3.00. The other poster said he spends more money on beer and snuff while working cattle. On 100 calves we save $150.00. So not sure if he only has a few head or if he is a heavy drinker. I asked him how many head he has treated. He tried to say I asked how many cows and how many acres he has. I could care less what he has. But he wants to discredit those who used it on many head. Unless he has used it not sure how you can discredit those who have. [/QUOTE]
