[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12808"] I'm using the 24% protein tubs from Tractor Supply. They aren't going through them too quickly. They are pricey, but the only better solution I can find is to get the 300 gallon tanks which I plan to do before next Winter. Buying in bulk gets the liquid for $1 gallon versus about twice that for the tubs. The lick tubs are 200 lbs. each and contain most nutrients and micronutrients including salt, so if you get the tubs you might not need to keep replacing your salt supply. I'm in Florida and I still have plenty of forage. Unfortunately the forage has the nutritional value of cardboard right now. Good enough not to invest in a lot of hay for roughage anyway. > I am wanting to supplement my > cattle with lick tubs. Which kind > would be the best?
