[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1815545, member: 42463"] Before you buy anything more expensive than the cheapest equivalent you might want to do a cost/benefit breakdown. For instance... if you can get a mineral block for $10 and a bag of loose mineral for $20 that is claimed to last as long... and you get the same benefit from both... why would you buy the loose mineral? And unless you KNOW your area has a known mineral deficiency that a more expensive product can alleviate, why would you pay more for something? Your vet should be able to inform you of any mineral deficiencies. This game can be a matter of success or failure based in pennies per pound... as well as expenses per earned dollar. If your head isn't in that game you will be supporting your cattle with an off-the-farm job. [/QUOTE]
