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.
Yes, birds fly if they have salt on their tails. I put some salt on the end of my bird's tail. She flew to the cage and the salt fell off.
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.
No you would not want to put your face that close to a cows udder as you may get kicked, you clean them with your hands and milk them but no licking.
Cows mate through natural breeding where a bull mounts a cow to copulate. This process usually occurs when the cow is in estrus (heat) and ready to breed. It is a natural behavior in cows for reproduction.
If you are using salt to help treat an illness, then you will need aquarium salt or epsom salt; if it's for a saltwater tank, then it's marine salt.In either case, never use table salt as the iodine will kill your fish
cows
Yes it is a good idea. so that when they get bored they dont start chewing on your wood, they just lick the salt block.
Only put sun block on hairless breeds of cats.
Salt
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.
no
It depends on how much you put! The more heavier the more salt you should put!
The mass of salt reclaimed should be the same as the mass of salt that was put into the solution.
Not referee cows.
put it in a bath
Put it in your freezer, or cover it in salt.
instead of using chlorine, try using a block of salt. a saltwater pool will create natural bacterial deterants and is much easier to maintain because you don't have to constantly check the chemical levels in your pool. just drop a block of salt in it and you're good for the summer
