Get your single steer a 60 pound tub of Crystalyx Brigade and put a 4 pound brick of white salt in it
I use all year long Crystalyx Brigade in 250 pound tubs with 4 lb white salt bricks in it - I really like it - it is weather proof, easy to move anywhere on a skid steer, cows seem to enjoy it (est .25 to .75 lb/head/day for the estimated 1200 lb cow), improved forage use and fertility and there is no (zero zip) waste. It is about $0.36/pound - so that could be as low as 9 cents per day for a 1200 lb cow

Depending on what part of the country you are located in would determine what elements are in shortages as far as the Cu is concerned along with other elements and vitamins. Brent
