Waste of money your money ahead to use rabon blocks and stop the cycle.

Hi Sidney. Look for something with an IGR in it...I priced some of that stuff in my mineral. WOWEE!!! You would need an armored car to haul the stuff home in. Some things just arent intended for the serious about keeping some of his money rancher. LOLsidney411":e4k7in1r said:Is there a loose mineral that has the same fly stuff that the blocks have?
