Replenishing mineral sites using livestock salt blocks

[werner.reiche]

I use water softener salt cost about 10-20 bucks for 40 pounds.

Water softener is just salt... Mineral blocks contain sodium, zinc, iron, copper, manganese, cobalt iodine.
10 bucks for 50 lbs is the regular price for livestock blocks at TSC / Peavey mart.

I use cow mineral and dry molasses from my local feed store.

Trace mineral blocks are good but any kind of salt is better than nothing. I have two stumps on either side of my 50 acre woods that I feed every once in a while, The ground around the stumps gets worked over from them pawing and licking the dirt. Sometimes I throw out some treats like apples or deer feed.
