[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 1831303, member: 7398"] All the mineral evidence I've ever seen is anecdotal. That said, I kinda feel the same way about EPDs for the most part. We ag folks believe this stuff - that a blood draw can tell you the ribeye area of a bull's progeny, but we don't get our own selves vaccinated because it's a scam. We're an odd bunch. That said, I have mineral tubs out. Do they do any good? I don't know. I get the philosophy behind them, but have I seen the science? No. And one person telling me one thing about something that happened at their place isn't science. It's anecdote. I also got myself vaccinated and my testicles haven't dried up and I've not gotten sick. But I wasn't really getting sick before either. Yet my neighbors friend had a brother who's uncle's neighbor dropped dead after getting vaccinated so what was I thinking??? If you please excuse me, I have to run some fresh tubs to the cattle all while feeling guilty that I should be using loose mineral but realizing I just don't have time or equipment or place or set up for loose mineral so I'm undoubtedly wasting my money even though the mineral guys tell me they work great.
