[QUOTE="novaman, post: 163391, member: 2744"] I use a mineral that contains 12% salt in it. Now after reading the previous posts I would be led to believe that if I put that mineral out for my cows they shouldn't need anymore salt. It has also been said that if I were to put out free choice salt the consumption of mineral would fall drastically. I have a salt block sitting by the water tank and I have a mineral feeder there. I put 25 pounds of mineral in that feeder every morning. There are 85 cows that have access to this salt and mineral. They will eat all of the mineral and finish off a salt block in about two weeks. I don't think your going to convince me that cattle don't need free choice salt. As for the overconsumption of salt, I really don't care. If my cows eat too much salt they will just drink that much more water. Not to mention I have had no problems whatsoever with excess sodium. You guys can believe what you want. I'll do what works for me. [/QUOTE]
