[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1830827, member: 42463"] Has anyone had a cow or horse have health issues because they didn't lick a salt block enough? I mean... REALLY? I've used blocks and nothing else my whole life and every rancher in my early days did too, and I certainly never heard anyone complaining because their animals were having health issues. They all bred and dropped a calf as well or better than the cattle today. And if I was back in the business I wouldn't be inclined to do anything different today. It's kind of funny how every generation has some kind of "essential" sold to them as a "big improvement" and it's just marketing to wring money out of a wallet. (This is not to say that there aren't legitimate areas of the country with poor soil (selenium comes to mind) but you can get inexpensive salt blocks for that too. [/QUOTE]
