Loving the herd life
My cows are on average to above average hay, (native grasses,alfalfa, sanfoin) that we put up ourself. They also have a white salt block and a red mineral salt block, and loose range minerals. I also give them a very small amount of cattle cake. Two weeks ago I also put a SweetPro lick tub out for them. I was told that the tub had a balanced blend of chelated trace minerals and that I would not need to have loose minerals for them. The adaptation period on the tub is 10 days to 2 weeks. I still see the cows going over and eating from the mineral feeder, so I was wondering if they can get to much minerals or will they only eat what they need and have not adapted to the tub yet?
