[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 115981, member: 1604"] Too much phosphorus in a mineral will cause them to eat less than what they need. It is very bitter and unpalatable. My mineral consultant advised me to drop the phos. content percentage and they will eat more lbs. I did and it helped the bred %'s. Also, placing mineral next to the water supply will increase consumption. In a perfect world, each cow should intake mineral each and every day according to the mineral needs left lacking from the forage analysis. Without a forage analysis and a consumption estimate we have no idea of how much that should be. [/QUOTE]
