[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1830969, member: 637"] [I]elkwc, I agree that Vitaferm is a better mineral than I have seen in so many. I have read so many bags and thought, everything is so below par, why not go ahead and put in the bag what the cattle need!! But so many give a teaspoon when a Tablespoon is needed.
