[QUOTE="Amo, post: 899363, member: 14857"] Thanks both of ya. I did like the cadalic analagy. Thats kinda what confused me. Why if your making a kick butt mineral with chelates would you fill the rest with oxides. Unless oxides are really over rated. Several mineral dealers around here really push amio acids, and bash oxides. The search I did compared chealates and amino acids vs. sulfates and oxides. I kinda agree with ya Mid South guy. What Ive been doing is bout a month before calving (bout now) to 30 days breeding I go chealates. Then just a good mineral. I know its kinda spendy. Like one guy told me....mineral is like insurance. If you like good coverage and don't mind the higher premium go for it. If your willing to ride the law of averages and save some money then you proably can get by one just a liability policy. I think Im going to run chealates untill I go to grass. That will save some $, get the cows cycling good, and fresh green grass (its snowing now so Im a little more confident) should have plenty of "goodie" in it. For me consumption is usually farily low with green grass or good hay. So it costs a lot per bag, but not much a day. Of course it still costs. Thanks for your thoughts. [/QUOTE]
