Default Please evaluate my mineral block.

I have never used them before but thought what the heck. I have done some reading about the minerals that this board finds helpful and this one seems to be a pretty good deal. It weighs in at 50 pounds and costs 4 dollars. So any input would be helpful but the deer seem to like it.

Salt minimum 90%, maximum 95%. That is why the deer like them.

The only reason that deer crave salt during the summer is because it helps balance out the excess amounts of water they intake from eatin lush vegetation.

Surely a QDMA member would know that.

I like the loose trace mineral sale mixed with Di-Cal in a lick.

I was only telling Snook why the deer liked his mineral block. He didn't ask for the reasons why they like it.
