[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1818239, member: 6291"] You would drive 2 hours day to hand feed cows when salt can do it for you? 😉 With our short winters, most of the large ranches on the prairie and quite a few others don't feed hay. They use self feeders with a salt mix during winter. Our local mill mixes it and delivers it to your feeder. No tractors, no labor, nothing... just a phone call. Doesn't get more simple than that. It's kind of like feeding liquid feed. When you weigh the cost of feed vs labor, equipment, etc of cheaper feeds, some times ot comes out better. Salt feed has been used for ever like that. It is pre-accuration and those other limit feeds. Salt is the OG of feed limiters. 😄 [/QUOTE]
