[QUOTE="rk, post: 163850, member: 2993"] Cattle will seek salt, but up to a point. Your range meal is limited with salt and they are probably getting all the salt they want with the range meal and so they won't eat the mineral. A couple of other things....usually have lower mineral consumption when there are protein supplements available-they are getting some mineral nutrition from them so won't eat as much mineral. Also, where are you at in SC TX (how far from the coast). Coastal areas usually have more salt in the grasses and mineral formulations should take this into account. My .02 rk [/QUOTE]
