[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 824414, member: 6897"] No saying their not better. Only taht there is no reason to pay 5 bucks more per bag when it's not necessary. Calcium, phosphorus adn salt make up 80% of what's in a bag or ton of mineral. Calcium is cheap, salt is average price and phosphorus is expensive. The remaining 250 lbs. may be as cheap as $.50 a lb. up to as much as $12.00 a pound and that's vitamins. You're looking at changing perhaps 100 lbs. of trace minerals out and replacing with chlelated minerals. That does not justify a $200 a bag increase in price and there would be no reason to change any of the other ingredients. Guarantee when you get that new bag of mineral you're still going to have some sulfates and oxides on the label and then you'll wonder "Just how much of them new expensive chelates is in here".
