[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1129642, member: 9096"] That depends on if your cattle are short of phosphorus, My mineral is 6/12 or 9/18 Ca/P and everyone around here says I have the numbers backward so it seems to be a bit of a rarity. I did a blood test on a cow that was a helluva producer but had a hard time breeding back, and I found she was low on phosphorus, Selenium, an Copper. It's not so much how much Phosphorus is in the mix, but it's ratio to calcium. Phosphorus is an expensive part of the mix... the 9:18 is $44/bag, the 6:12 is $33 a bag. I feed 25% 6:12, 75% salt and have had good results and not broken the bank. What I noticed in my heavy producing cows is if they calved late and were with the bull quickly, they bred back fine, if it was 2-3 months before they were exposed to the bull, that's when trouble would start.
