    Looking for opinions here. What's the best lick buckets with minerals to help cows thrive and run. Is there any liquids? Bolosus? or do lads use the Himalayan salt? looking for ideas to get the cows to cycle quicker please.

    Use the all trace hi iodine bolus here. Find them very good. Everything I let to the bull last year scanned in calf and the most of them were calving nearly a month earlier this year, not all down to the bolus but I'm sure they were a help.

    If you have badgers on the farm don't use licks, go for the bolus.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    We use calsea hi phos licks here. 15% phos. Cows show really strong heats on them and slim would be flying from them
