[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1692258, member: 38590"] A lot of it depends on what kind of operation you're running. Especially in low input or poorly managed herds, there are lots of practices that individually aren't going to make a difference. If you've got cattle running in the woods with a bull year round and you only catch them up a couple times a year, the expensive mineral probably isn't doing much for your bottom line. If you're trying to maintain a 45 day calving season, using a lot of AI, and recording birth and weaning weights for registered stock, that mineral is worth every penny. Sometimes marginal differences that aren't visible add up. The average producer isn't going to be able to tell if their mineral increased conception rates by a couple percentage points or made their calves 10 pounds heavier at weaning. That's why we rely on case-control studies. [/QUOTE]
