It's never developed into a problem but if I could make some treated blocks available for them that would prevent this, then I'm for doing it.

You gota remember that they'll eat the things like candy and they ain;t cheap. The only reason we used one is we had it sitting around for 5-6 years and decided to get rid of it and that seemed a good time and place
Since I never have a bloating issue with the cows, maybe if the blocks were placed in a calf feeder so the cows couldn't get to it they would last a lot longer? Surely the calves alone wouldn't consume that much, or would they?

I would sure hope they wouldn;t. These girls acted like it was a giant ice cream cone and ate huge hunks out of it.
