Not very good for our area as far as Copper goes, or as a Spring Mineral, but overall it's acceptable.

I have not put out a block of salt in 25 years.Loose minerals usually have plenty of salt to meet Cattle's requirements.You can kill 2 birds with one stone by using a Complete loose mineral.sparky1":181ww2up said:why not just put out a salt block and let the cattle decide if they need more salt. blocks r cheap enough and livestock are smarter than we think

Nope, don't need a refresher....or a dance either. If you don't want to feed animal fat, then don't. That will limit choices, since most manufacturers use some fat. It is done every day, and more often than not. You can believe in "nature's design" if you want, but you'll have a hard time finding a nutritionist against using animal fat.rockridgecattle":x6h9wqsu said:rk":x6h9wqsu said:Other than the issue with palatability and possible rancidity, what would be the concern with animal fat?
you and i have already done this dance, if you need a refresh check out the feed yard board and re read the thread.
but for those who don't know...
cattle are herbivoires not carivoires.
herbivoires eat plant matter not animal matter. The gut was not made or designed to digest animal matter. NO amount of science or theories or what ever cost cutting propoganda hurled at us is going to change that fact.
The sooner we quit messing with God's or natures design the sooner we can get back to consumer confidence globally in our meat. Otherwise we are no different that the chinese and their cost cutting measures to produce a cheap inferior product.
