[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 115959, member: 1017"] I guess it probably depends on your mineral, but the one we use recommends 4 ounces per cow per day. So, for our 81 cows, that's about a bag every 2.5 days. Sometimes they eat more, sometimes less. It's funny though, in the recent months, during the drought, you would think they'd need more minerals since the dried up grass obviously doesn't have great nutritional value, but they seemed to eat less now than in the spring when the pasture is lush. Just a side note, we got a little relief from the drought last weekend. A 4 day rain measuring 4.9 inches. The creeks are still pretty dry though, as it all soaked in. It's raining again right now, and they're calling for more on saturday and next week!! :D :D [/QUOTE]
