[QUOTE="Otha, post: 1727811, member: 41397"] I'm not using it for the high phos content. I just wanted to try a mineral without salt and this was the only one I could find locally. I wasn't aware that they could be getting enough phos from the mineral to hurt them. I will be feeding the vitafirm hi-mag mineral from mid feb to around june. It has 5% phos in it. Maybe that'll help balance things out. I hardly feed any grain. Just a few range cubes to keep them coming and sometimes some cotton seed cake if I have a bunch of low quality stockpiled grass to graze. I've heard about people running blood work on the cattle like people have, along with soil and forage testing to determine a custom mix mineral. Sounds like the best approach but I don't have enough cattle to justify that process. [/QUOTE]
