[QUOTE="Ozhorse, post: 951167, member: 18575"] I am interested in the costs you are paying in the USA for minerals. You get more for beef than we do, near double per lb I think? Your fuel is way cheaper and I am sure hay is too. So how much do you pay for the average 20 kg (44 lb) mineral block ? Here they cost $22 to $32. I want to feed my 120 cows minerals, just for the end of winter, and I cant see how I can make the money back. I should get at least $500 for my 8 month old calves, hopefully more, sometimes a fair bit more like last year, over $600, but some years more like $380 to $420. Weight at sale average heifer 600 lb average steer 640 lb. So what happens if they dont get their minerals? What will I see? How will I loose money if I dont spend those thousands of dollars on minerals? How will I know that it was better to buy minerals than pay off the credit cards? [/QUOTE]
