[QUOTE="Mid South Guy, post: 906687, member: 17328"] I always figured one mineral feeder per every 30 head or so. You should be fine with only 16 head. There is a big difference between a true mineral block and a red trace mineralized salt block. Altough I have not looked for them in recent years, there were some mineral companies that made some of their minerals in block form. Moorman's come to mind. These were good high quality minerals, but consumption and flexibility was a problem. What most people call a mineral block is a red colored trace mineralized salt block, sold at TSC and other farm/feed stores for about $6.00. It's about 98% salt and provides no major minerals. It just makes you think you are feeding mineral because of the red color. A true mineral block with quality equivlent to the loose form would probably cost $25.00 or more. [/QUOTE]
