Liquid feed uses phosphorus to limit intake. When cattle overeat it, they add phos as a limiter because it is very bitter. Slows the cattle consumption down.
Explain why a company would use a $700 a ton product to limit intake of a $280 a ton product.Liquid feed uses phosphorus to limit intake. When cattle overeat it, they add phos as a limiter because it is very bitter. Slows the cattle consumption down.

Tom it looks like your typical tub but with chelated minerals. If the price is right it should work.Tried to blow it up to see if it helps.

What's your consumption & how big of tub, 200#? Definitely reasonable.
I have not used them but my neighbor did last year.What's your consumption & how big of tub, 200#? Definitely reasonable.
That's not going to be a cooked tub so consumption will be quite a bit higher.
I disagree with this based on observation of my cows. Loose white salt in one end of the covered bunk, Wind & Rain mineral in the other end. Wind & Rain placed in the bunk first so in the middle it was covered by Loose salt. They were hitting each about the same till August. As summer was winding down they went after the Wind & Rain hard, even licking up under the loose salt where the two met in the trough. I put out another 50# of Wind and Rain about 2-3 weeks ago and noticed yesterday they are out again. Plenty of loose salt there.
I think as the grass starts cutting out they hit the minerals harder.
