[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1564931, member: 24583"] I personally would keep it full because it’s easier. But unless I’m missing something he’s giving them plenty. Never fed that particular mineral, but assuming it’s a 4 oz per day recommended intake, he’s putting out 3-4 pounds daily = 48-64 oz daily / 8 grown cows = 6-8 oz per head/per day. I think the main problem is that they haven’t got full yet. Other problem could be that what looks like 3-4 pounds could only be 2 pounds. In which case they would be ingesting the standard rate of 4 oz/per head/per day. I would also recommend moving it farther away from the water source if you want to decrease intake. Closer to increase intake. [/QUOTE]
