[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1487647, member: 6897"] GB salt intake for a cow is approximately 1 lb. per head per day (approximately) so 500 lbs. of salt to a ton of feed mix would allow 500 cows to eat approximately 4 lbs. of the mix of which 1 lb. would be salt. A good mix many feed down in this area is 1000 lbs. of corn, 500 lbs. of cottonseed meal and 500 lbs. of salt. This will give you a mix of about 14% crude protein and total digestible nutrients close to 75% so makes a pretty good supplement. If you feel they are eating too much just increase the salt 10-15%.
