Saronville NE | I will admit I don't put much mineral out mainly due to I think $28 a bag is ridiculous. Maybe 10 bags a year total. But they must not lack it cause when I put it out they don't just engulf it it will last couple weeks. Salt is what I can't seem to keep in front of them, they just engulf salt and that's year round and I keep salt in front of them, you miss a week or two then put another bag out it will be gone in a matter of hours.
Only time I put tubs out is on cornstalks, it helps them last longer grazing stalks. Otherwise they get some alfalfa or wdg when in lot calving for protein instead of lick tubs.
Edit:
Last time I lost a cow was due to having twins and both were backwards and didn't catch her soon nuff. And before that it had been years but had one lay upside down in a ditch in a cornfield and not get up. So doubt if my 1 bag a month mineral program is too blame.

Who here relies only on lick tubs for mineral?
