[QUOTE="eric, post: 38528, member: 7"] Arnold, I do use the cubes mainly for bringing them in for inspection this time of yr. We put out a couple of 5 gallon buckets every 2-3 days so we can be sure they dont have any cuts on them, warts and stuff like that. About 1/2 a bag each time, so it averages 2 lbs a hd each time we feed them. The coastal burmuda is growing profusely right now due to the very wet spring and summer, and they appear to be putting on weight, (they are definately not losing weight!). What would you recommend as far as minerals for them, and how much per hd? I have salt blocks and a mineral block out, along with always available fresh water. I was wondering if I need to put out a free choice bag type mineral. The cows are about 5 yrs old and the calves range from 4-7 mos. I am going to be weaning 3 calves in the next 3-4 weeks. Should I put any creep feed or anything in the weaning pen? I was watching the Cattle Show last night on RFD-TV, and they recommended puttting creep feed in the weaning pen, but then they are sponsored by Cargill Feed! The local dealer who sells Purina is also the most expensive, so any other brands of minerals would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
