Cattle minerals

[EDR]

Looking for peoples opinions on the best options for minerals for sucklers. I’ve used cosiecure bolus and I’m currently trying some tithebarn mineral blocks and salt licks. The problem is it’s not that easy to measure the results and getting impartial advice is not easy from salesmen.
TIA

Seems to be a demanding winter for mineral, general purpose mineral buckets don't seem to have kept pace with requirement. Younger cattle most demanding. Just changed brand(not disclosing which yet) if this does not work considering having a few bloods done to see what is missing/short supply.

We use tithebarn suckler dyna blocks last winter used hardly any buckets, but this winter have used a lot more, they cost about £1.30 per week per beast but cattle seem a lot better for them. Use there easy calve bucket they are brilliant calves are up and about straight away, and cows seem to get in calf easier, Tithebarn are not cheap but they seem to work, we are happy with them.
