[QUOTE="cattle_gal, post: 57222, member: 643"] Right Now is a good one. I used it. If it gets wet it doesn't harden or cake, stays loose. That's one thing when mineral shopping to ask about. I went to a Montana made mineral that has the chelates in it and more of what I need and doesn't cost as much as Cargill when it comes down to how much the cow consumes. Just looking at the cost on a per ton basis it's the same, but if you break down how long it lasts then the other was the choice. Like Brad said give it to them year round. If they are hording it to much after they have caught up then put some salt in another tub. You can then see if they are hungry for mineral or for salt. But each region varies in what they need. One rancher that was used to being def in selinium around here move to where it is toxic. I wouldn't wanting to put a protein supplement and mix it with a mineral supplement. I have thought about getting the mineral put in with the cake, however I felt if they had free chose of when they want the mineral and how much that would leave out the chance of the "pigs" eating all the cake and mineral and some not getting the mineral at all.
