[QUOTE="CWT Angus, post: 525641, member: 1509"] I use the Nutrena Right Now mineral & have for the past few years. At different times of the year the cows eat more & less & it also depends on the variety of the mineral as some are more palatable than others. It also seems to depend on what type of a diet they are on. This time of year when the grass is in full bloom I use the Emerald w/ the IGR & it works great. Can't keep it in front of them. I also notice the calves eating it. They eat the most mineral when they are on a grass-only diet. I do have friends that use the Onyx variety year round & they add salt to it to make it more tasty. So to asnwer your question... yes they definitely do eat the suggested amount for the most of the year. Their consumption goes down in the winter when they are on full feed. I find that it helps to increase intake by proper location of the feeder as well as not letting it get old in the feeder. After it sits there for a long time they don't like the taste. And no, it does not clump & the feeders do get some water in them. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
