What mineral feeder do you use for your beef cows? Do to some happenings around here I will need to change how I feed my beef cows different this summer. Untill now I fed silage in a TMR mixer and added my minerals every feeding. I am going to have to be away for six weeks soon and the cows will be getting pasture and round bales. That way someone only needs to check on them every few days. Local feed store has a round 4 compartment feeder that sets on the ground with a rubber flap that the cows are supposed to nose under to eat their minerals. I have also seen ones with legs that have a top mounted on a swivel that turns to keep the opening out of the wind. I do have some mineral blocks out but my feed man says the loose mineral I have been feeding is better and important as my cows will start to calve late August. Tom
