[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1661597, member: 12520"] There is enough copper in one block of TM salt to cause acute toxicity to 10-15 mature beef cows if they ate it all in one day. There is good chance you are wasting your money feeding any supplement if you don't know what you need. From the Ohio State University Extension: Salt blocks may not provide sufficient trace mineral intake in marginal or deficient situations due to the block being so hard it may be difficult for ruminants to consume enough to meet requirements. Key here is MAY NOT. Test your forage, test your cattle, observe you cattle over a period of years, hire a nutritionist, whatever route you choose... don't ASSUME you NEED or DON'T NEED one or the other. [/QUOTE]
