Should your goat use a salt block or cattle mineral block?
Goats should have salt blocks specifically made for them. However, if you cannot get such blocks, there isn't really anything wrong with giving them a mineral block intended for cattle.
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.

Why are cattle so attracted to salt?
Because the plants that they eat do not contain sufficient amounts of sodium and chloride. Also, a lot of salt is lost as perspiration during warm weather or if they are being worked. Salt needs also increase during lactation and during periods of rapid growth. As such, cattle need to have access to salt at all times. The best type of salt you can supplement your animals with is either a trace-mineral block, a loose-mineral mix, or a cobalt-iodine-salt block. Loose minerals are much more recommended among many cattlemen than salt that comes in block form.
Why are salt blocks used frequently as a source of sodium for horses and cattle?
Salt is sodium chloride, and because salt is this chemical compound, this is the main reason why it is used so frequently as a source of sodium AND chloride for livestock like horses and cattle.
