Salt blocks

[JonBoy]

I put out trophy rocks (mineral rocks) and protein blocks. We had a lease member put out the white salt blocks and nothing, not even the cattle touched them

Trophy rock is mostly salt. Save yourself some $$ and get the hard red American Stockman trace mineral block from TS. Mostly salt too, but much cheaper. I don't kid myself that I'm helping the deer, but I get some good velvet pics, and it's not hurting them. It's the block in the foreground, not the crumbly one.

I use the 44 lb block from Redmund. It is exactly the same as trophy rock, mined from the same quarry by the same co. It's just that a 44 lb block costs $13 and a 5 lb trophy rock cost about same or more. Gotta love marketing.

Sometimes they have some friendly disagreements over whose block it is !

I use the mineral I think they're 6-7$ at TS

Our deer love Trophy Rock

Try burying your salt block this summer with the top of the block level with the surface of the ground. They will tear up the place by this fall.

Been doing this for over 20 years. The trace mineral block is 90% salt and a lot cheaper than a trophy rock!!!

I have put it out for a while now. salt and mineral blocks.

the deer / axis love them...so do the cows and horses though.

If I remember correctly if you have goats on the property do not use any that have iodine in them ,it will kill the goats

No goats.

The trace mineral block is close to 97% + salt. It has less than 3 % combined of all the minerals. It's not necessary to use an additional salt block. We actually use loose mineral in the cattle industry. I also dig a small trench and apply loose mineral where the blocks use to be to get the deer started on it. Very hard to get them started on loose mineral but the will use it where the old salt blocks where b/c they r using it as a natural salt lick. Try to find a loose mineral with less phosphorus so it's not so bitter to them.
