[QUOTE="mobgrazer, post: 627663, member: 9043"] One thing to keep in mind that every time there food source or water source changes they will need a different mineral mix. This is part of the reason I use 2 different mixes for the winter and 2 different mixes for the summer. About 9 months out of the year they have 3 mixes to pick from and salt at all times. The only pre mix stuff they sell around our stores have supper high levels of Calcium and all the water around us but the river is as hard as a rock. Our entire aquifer is sitting in limestone for 3 towns in each direction. My creek from the top of the mountain runs about 140 ppm My 300’ well is about 170 ppm My 150 well is about 160 ppm I know this because we send in samples 3 to 4 times a year. Most of the time they drink out of the stream and the mixes that get carried in the stores have 17% or more calcium. I have had lots of poop tests done over the years and still get them done a few times a year so I know if it is way off and needs to change. [/QUOTE]
