It depends on the age of the calves themselves. If they're wearers, yes, definitely; either that or else salt and mineral in the loose form, since trace blocks are really 95% salt and the rest mineral. If the calves are unweaned and still dependent on their dam's milk, no. It's their dams that will need it, not the calves themselves.
What else can I help you with?
Do cattle need a mineral block and a separate salt block?
No. All mineral blocks have enough salt in them to sustain cattle alone without having to have an additional salt block set out. Because mineral blocks are called "trace mineral" blocks, this means that 95 to 98% of the block is comprised of salt, while the other 5 to 2%, respectively, is composed of mineral.
Do horses need mineral blocks?
Yes, horses may benefit from mineral blocks to help ensure they receive essential minerals that may be lacking in their diet. Providing a mineral block can help support overall health and prevent deficiencies in minerals such as salt, calcium, phosphorus, and trace minerals. It's important to choose a mineral block specifically designed for horses and monitor their intake to prevent overconsumption.
Do rabbits need mineral blocks?
My rabbit is healthy but has not had one in years. Though it wouldn't hurt to provide one.
Should you give grass fed cows mineral blocks and salt licks all year long?
This is a very important thing to do, yes, because the grass they eat doesn't have all the necessary minerals they need: they need to get it in either loose or block form. Ideally, summer time is best for blocks, and winter for loose, but you can feed loose and/or block all year round, your choice. Just note that mineral blocks have 95% salt in them, not nearly as much mineral as the loose form would have.
Why does milk grow in a cow?
Cows produce calves. Calves, like all other baby mammals, rely on their mother's milk for nutrition. Thus, in order to satisfy this need, cows need to produce milk for their calves.
How can I make wooden name blocks?
To make wooden name blocks, you will need wooden blocks, paint or markers, and a stencil or freehand drawing of the letters in the name. First, sand the wooden blocks to smooth out any rough edges. Then, either use a stencil to trace the letters of the name onto the blocks or carefully freehand the letters with paint or markers. Allow the paint to dry completely before displaying or using the name blocks.
My cows and goats will wipe out baby pine trees and kill grown trees by stripping the bark down to the fleshy part of the trunk. They have mineral blocks. Why does livestock eat pine trees?
Livestock (in this case referring to cattle) usually don't eat pine trees, particularly if they have all the nutritional requirements of their diet met. In this case, it doesn't sound like a particular nutrient has been met, hence their need or want to strip bark off of trees or, if you have wood fences, chew on the wood boards. This particular mineral is Phosphorus, and is usually not found in most mineral blocks purchased at your local farm store. Most mineral blocks are "trace mineral" blocks, which means they have 95% salt and 5% micro-minerals consisting of elements like copper, iron, iodide, cobalt, molybdenum, magnesium, manganese, and sometimes selenium if they're advertised or labelled as selenium blocks. Phosphorus is a macro-mineral, along with calcium, nitrogen, potassium and sodium. Without knowing what sort of "diet" your cattle are on, (though I assume it is grass-fed with no grain, from the sounds of what they have access to), it is hard to pin-point or let you know what exactly can be done to curb the problem of your animals consuming and killing your trees. However, what can be suggested is to add in another supplement that has phosphorus in it, such as loose mineral, or find a mineral block that has higher levels of phosphorus than the one you have always been feeding. I mentioned before how TM (trace mineral blocks) are not enough to satisfy your animals' needs, but that isn't exactly truthful because cattle actually need a lot more salt than minerals, even though some producers claim that cattle will lick and lick away at the block and not get much from it except a lot of salt. You can still opt to feed them the TM block and add some sort of supplement that is high in phosphorus (such as grain), or you can switch your mineral program and feed loose mineral with salt in it. Depending on the mix of the loose mineral and what your cattle have access to, loose mineral mixes usually come in a 2:1 or 1:1 calcium:phosphorus ratio. The first is for cattle with little access to feeds or forage high in calcium, the former for those who have lots of access to feeds high in calcium but little phosphorus. You will need to check with your local feed supplier to see what mineral supplement is right for you and your animals.
Can calves drink water after they drank milk?
Yes. Water shouldn't be not limited to calves, because they need it just as much as cows do.

Are mineral blocks good for horses?
Yes. Domestic horses are often lacking in the minerals they need because they are not allowed to run around over acres and acres of land with different grasses, dirt and trees to eat and lick to get the minerals they need. This is when a mineral block comes into play. The horse should have access to a mineral blaock designed specifically for horses 24/7 so that they can give themselves the minerals they need.
How much sodium do cows need?
Sodium should be fed free-choice as Salt (NaCl), which is found in most commercially made salt blocks or loose salt-mineral mixes.
Can you give a calf baby forumal?
No, absolutely not. A calf should be given milk formula designed for calves and calves ONLY, not for human babies. You could kill a calf if you give it baby formula because it lacks certain nutrients that calves need that human babies don't need or need less of than a calf does.
