Beef Cattle, Sheep
Need Mineral Feeds
Beef cattle and sheep need
salt and minerals the year
around, and Associate Chest
er County Agent Joseph H.
Way warns that too often
these nutrients arc lacking
in the diets of livestock dur
ing the winter months.
Animals do not consume as
much salt during the winter,
but, it is still important to
have it available. For beef
cattle, salt may be fed loose
or in block form.

A lack of salt is one of the
more common causes of poor
utilization of feed by cattle
m the winter.
Because cattle \ ary great
ly in their individual needs
for salt. Way urges making
it available free choice at all
times.
Sheep should have loose
salt rather than block sail.
Do not count on hand salting
