[Jacob-list] Mineral/protein tubs

[Susan J Martin]

I am suspecting that my sheep are not ingesting as much of our free feed mineral as they should and I am considering using the mineral/protein tubs or blocks.  Here are some questions:
How many of you offer the protein/mineral tubs or blocks to your sheep?  Do you feed this in additional to graining your sheep?  Many of us just grain our sheep during lactation and also we feed our lambs.....do you offer the tubs year round?  What are the pros and cons of these products?  Do they cause breakdown of the teeth due to the high molasses content?  And, what product do you prefer -  block or tub?  Why?
Any advice would be appreciated.....Thank you!
