[QUOTE="rk, post: 162288, member: 2993"] All salt blocks, trace mineralized, sulfur, and of course white, are about 95% salt. For practical purposes, they are mainly salt and not a significant source of any other minerals. The sulfur that is in the yellow block may have some benefits, but I believe is detrimental overall because the sulfur serves to tie up copper. Also, the only reason I can see for keeping out salt is if cattle overconsume on the mineral. In most areas, if the mineral has much salt at all (15% or so), it will satisfy dietary requirement. Cows will lick salt just to taste it or out of boredom, usually. My .02 rk [/QUOTE]
