But beef herds use salt licks at will. Added to feed, the animal has no choice but to ingest it. you haven't the faintest idea what a mineralised block is have you. Humour me. One example is below. Farmers know this product intimately. The blocks weight fifty pounds and you have to lug this block across frozen fields and swollen creeks to get it to the blasted cattle. Got a set of bruises on my ribs now from humping one of these things out to the lower pasture through the ice storm a few weeks ago. The ice won, I fell on the thing. http://www.martindalefeed.com/Products/BLOCKS/3307.htm Thanks Michael. I'm well aware what a mineralized 'salt lick' block is. Never "heard" it called that before. |
