Crockett, Texas | I just started using a loose Vita-Ferm mineral. We have used several different loose minerals in the past, usually whatever was cheapest. We will track the Vitaferm usage/cost per head so we will have some data to look at.
We switched to this product in an effort to help our cows breed back quicker. The Brahman cows calving period has stretched out over the last several years, some due to drought, and I also think we could have done better with our mineral program.
Time will tell if this Vitaferm Concept-Aid does what they say it will do. Company claim is 1 month quicker breed back. We can track this easy enough as we know when the record each cow's calving date. What we cant track is the difference in weather, etc.
I agree with most others, feeding mineral pays....it doesn't cost. To me it's about ROI, if it makes me extra dollars, then it's the right thing to do for the bottom line. | |

Who here relies only on lick tubs for mineral?
