i have 3 heifers from last spring that I plan to breed this year and also a cow that will calve this spring. I am feeding them free choice timothy hay. I have been using myneral lyx replacement heifer lick tubs as a supplement but I think they are hitting them harder than they need. I havent had the hay tested so not sure of qaulity but It looks good and smells good. The feed store told me 1 lick tub should last 200 to 260 days. I have gone through 2 in 100 days. I think with the small amountof animals they hit it to hard I dont know any thoughts? thinking maybe I could feed a supplement cheaper if so what kind of feed and how much? maybe they dont need anything but I want to make sure that they are cycling good and ready to be bred come summer thanks for the help
