[QUOTE="Crowderfarms, post: 413774, member: 1335"] We were discussing the exact same thing with a rep from a Mineral company at a Cattlemen's meeting the other night. I'm not going to mention the name of the manufacturer, but I had a concern on an IGR Mineral, and felt the Cows were not eating enough of the product, and the calves were.My experience was telling me there was an additive adult Cattle dont like, but Calves do. Expected average intake is 4 oz. of Mineral per day, per head. I was told we could add white Salt to it to sort of "bait" them to eat it better. According to the label, Salt content is already 19%.IMHO, tthe Mineral is being diluted too much, and may/will lose it's effectiveness, as it's got a Fescue Endophyte ingredient,and CTC.This particular Mineral goes for 32.00 a 50 lb. sack.
