Best Answer

If cattle are being held in a drylot or corral, the best place is near the water source. However, if they are being grazed out on pasture and you want to have a more even grazing distribution, you could put a block out for them in the pasture. Make sure you move the salt lick station every couple of days so that they don't beat the grass down to dirt at that one station.

When do you separate cattle?

Whenever you need to separate them. Honestly, it's your choice when you want to separate them. But note that in terms of cow-calf herds, you need to separate calves from cows when the calves are around 6 months of age. It may be a good idea to separate bull calves and steer calves and their mommas from the cows that have heifer calves at their side a month or two prior to weaning. Heifers and steers can be together, but you need to separate bull calves from heifers and keep them separate during the weaning process. This minimizes the risk of these young bulls breeding an early-maturing heifer and getting her bred by accident. Cows should be separated from bulls (NOT vice-versa, as it's more dangerous to separate bulls from the cows) after 60 to 80 days have passed since the bull was put in with the cows. Separate cull cows from the main cowherd the day you are going to sell them or, if you want to fatten up these cull cows, a few weeks prior to selling them. Before winter sets in, separate thin cows from the fat or normally-conditioned cows and put them with your bred heifer herd.

Where should you put your medicated salt lick on your farm?

Bovatec or Safe-Guard medicated blocks should be placed out in the pasture to encourage more grazing in that pasture and less traffic at the water trough. Most people like to put out salt blocks close to a water source, but in a pasture environment, to encourage livestock to graze a certain area that is some distance from their favorite watering area, a salt block should be placed in that vicinity.
