[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 873682, member: 9096"] the mineral blocks we have do contain copper, however no phosphorus I heard that animals know what they're missing, but only to an extent when they're thirsty, they want water when they're hungry they want food when they need salt, they know it and when they need phosphorus, they will chew on ANYTHING (rocks, wood, bones, rope) but when they're missing other things, they don't 'know' it it sounds to me like your cattle may be missing phosphorus as well BTW I'm starting this cow in particular, but the rest of the herd as well on 9:18 mineral... dont' have the mineral analysis handy right now, but I'll post it next week maybe [/QUOTE]
