[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1818235, member: 6291"] People use salt to limit consumption of feed. The more salt the lower the consumption. If you imagine putting a ton of sweet feed out. They will just devour it. If you do 3 parts feed, 1 part salt, they may eat #10 per hd per day. If you do 2 parts feed, 1 part salt, they may eat #5lb per hd per day. We use to feed quite a bit of salt feed in the winter or droughts. It was one of the few reasonably priced feeds you could feed that would actually limit consumption. Once we got them lined out on it we would target around #5 per hd per day. For us, cottonseed becaome a much better alternative. [/QUOTE]
