[QUOTE="kyblockhead, post: 287986, member: 3603"] Phosphorus is important to breeding, growth, and milk production. In many formulations, when magnesium is increased phosphorus is reduced to make room in the mix. The theory is that it is better to keep them alive rather than maximize performance. It is possible to keep phosphorus at 4 to 6% in a high mag mineral but it is also important to make sure cattle will eat it. Phosphorus isn't bitter but magnesium is so adding molasses, petrolatum, distillers grains, etc are used to help mask the bitter taste and get consistent consumption. Most companies make a 'cheap' high mag mineral for those producers that won't pay more than $7/bag, however, most make much better formulated products that provide the phos, mag, copper, vitamins, etc. [/QUOTE]
