Just wanting everyone's opinion on what they use. Trace mineral block, salt block, or both, neither one?

Use loose for both mineral and salt.
The company's that say don't put out salt don't have a good product either. The good ones know they cows will ingest what they need.
Give them time to level off though.
The ADM rep that calls on me says theirs is fine to use beside salt. Said the reason company's don't want it is because their mineral taste so bad the cattle won't use it if they have salt too.Banjo":rbzvpgt7 said:jedstivers":rbzvpgt7 said:You get what you pay for with mineral.

What is the best mineral then IYO? Practically every bag of mineral I have ever fed from the cheapest to the most expensive says to not feed additional salt, or feed as sole source of salt.
