[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 489604, member: 6897"] BT.....that mineral you bought may have had Rumensin (Monensin) in it. Most carry a warning not to feed to lactating cattle. Really all it means is not to feed to lactating cattle producing milk for human consumption. The tag warning is not real clear and if it contains Monensin the mineral won't hurt your cows or your babies. It will be very good for both. It really doesn't matter what brand of mineral you use as long as it contains what you're cattle need. I know where your community is and you don't need a lot of calcium in your mineral so don't buy one that is too high. Make sure the tag shows some plant protein products in the list of ingredients and the cattle should eat it ok. If you're grazing any wheat or oats I'd feed a Hi-Mag Mineral, otherwise just a good 12-12-12 would be fine. Just make sure the zinc manganese, copper, iodine and vitamin levels are adequate.
