[QUOTE="casey k, post: 935311, member: 17672"] i was going to take them to Springfield, and when i called up there some rancher answered the phone and got to talking to him and he offered to come out and look at them cause he was interested in buying them, so he came out and looked at them and bought them, saved me time, fuel and trouble of hauling them in lol. i usually feed number 1 and 2 salt mix with meg in the winter and spring them switch them over to summer salt mix for the summer to help with pink eye, and i usually have protein tubs out as well, but thats the way my granddad usually does it but im wanting to change things around a little bit and maybe save some money. see he did not have this farm to make money, it was a hobby farm, which i know there is not much to be made in the cattle business unless you have a **** load of cattle but i dont have that kinda money lol but my granddad has always kept salt mix out for the cows at all times, well it seemed like the more he put out the more the cows was eating. another thing im wondering is if there is much a cost issue between buying damn good hay and not having to put out any supplements verses putting out crapy hay and having to put out supplements? another question i have is, when i worked on a farm up in south dakota we used to catch new borns and and give them a shot of penicillin and spray iodine on their navel, is that really worth doing? and is protein tubs better than a loose mineral?
