[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1723892, member: 968"] I feed loose mineral 24/7/12. I have switched to BioZyme Concept Aid mineral from Vigortone. You will see "trace mineral blocks" at the stores like TSC. A cow could eat the whole block in 1 day and never get the minerals she needs. Yes, cows need salt, no doubt. But, most land does not provide the macro and micro minerals needed. Will your cows survive without a good mineral program - generally, yes. Will they perform as best as they could? probably not. I expect my herd to breed in 60 days and raise me a big calf every year. People talk about shipping 400# steers. I shoot for 100#/month of age, so I would have to wean & ship at 4 months old to have dinky 400# calves. That's bragging - nothing to do with what you're asking. A good mineral program is just part of the equation for the best herd you can have - along with a great health program. [/QUOTE]
