[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1161881, member: 18945"] Been lots of threads on this--the general consensus seems to be loose salt and loose mineral--separate containers. I have noticed, that with all the high humidity I have here, the loose stock salt in the plastic drum feeder doesn't stay very "loose" for long. Doesn't seem to slow them down eating it tho. I figure the time they spend standing there licking a mineral block is time better spent grazing--they can get a mouthful of min/salt and be back to eating grass in a lot less time, not to mention they can wear out 3 tongues licking a block before they ever get enough to really do any good.
