[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1599580, member: 968"] Check their manure - that tells you most everything you need to know about what they are eating. If it is hard turds like a horse, they might need a little more protein - like a block or tub or higher protein grain. A salt lick is worthless in my book - but others would disagree. Unless you are in an area that is providing all the vitamins & minerals needed for a cow (which I do not know of any in the great USA), they need loose mineral that contains salt as a limiter. As mentioned, watch the body condition of the nursing cows. "Feeding is in the eye of the master". You must look at your cattle and learn what they NEED to look like and what their manure is telling you. [/QUOTE]
