[QUOTE="dun, post: 38535, member: 34"] For the mineral question, any of the majors that are carried by your local feed store and basiclly formulated for your area will work. Yes go with loose. It's pretty hard for a cow let alone a calf to get adequate minerals from a block. When weaning it depends on what you plan on doing with the calves. We precondition for 30-45 days, sometimes 2 months depending on when we get ready to comingle. If you're hauling them straight to the feedlot or sale barn, unless they have a vaccination-preconditioning sale, just haul them. If you're going to to the precondition and vaccination route, they'll need grain to get "preconditioned". If they're replacements, grain them for 6-8 weeks to get them used to the idea then turn them out. dun [/QUOTE]
