[QUOTE="coachg, post: 1832602, member: 22053"] Not sure the nutritional value of the yellow sulfur blocks but my grandpa G use to say they helped with fly control. I strongly recommend loose mineral over blocks . Your cows will consume more than licking a block but you want them to get the minerals they need . You can still offer a yellow block or any other type for a variety. Mag salt/ mineral is important during grass green up to help prevent grass tetany . I'm currently using a garlium ( garlic oil ) additive in my loose mineral to help with fly control. Jury still out on that . Others say blocks are the way to go because your cows will eat less . The best advice I’ve seen on here is talk to your vet . If you have a good extension agent, they are a good place to ask . I trust my vet over the county extension guy . Good luck on your journey in cattle ! [/QUOTE]
