When pastures give out, this premium 25-16 Hi-Mag tub delivers! This highly palatable, all-weather supplement combines natural protein and non-protein nitrogen with essential magnesium to protect against grass tetany while optimizing forage utilization. The added magnesium helps safeguard your herd during critical periods when grass tetany risk is highest. This self-fed, worry-free tub provides complete supplementation for cattle on medium to lower quality hay, corn stover, and stockpiled pastures.
Just place one 200-lb tub per 10-20 head where cattle congregate for continuous supplementation lasting roughly 1-2 weeks for 10 adult cows. This supplement is ideal for all classes of cattle and provides essential minerals and vitamins alongside its protein and magnesium content. Because this product contains non-protein nitrogen, access to horses is not recommended.

- Feed at a rate of one block per 10 to 20 head. All animals should have equal access to blocks. Timid and smaller animals need their share.
- Place blocks where animals congregate. Locate blocks throughout the pasture at loafing, grazing and watering areas. Adequate distance must be maintained between blocks to prevent crowding – 10 feet minimum.
- Feed blocks continuously along with plentiful sources of forage and clean, fresh water. Animals should not run out of blocks. When a block is two-thirds consumed, provide a new block near it.
- Cattle should consume 1 to 2 pounds per head daily based on a 1,000-pound animal.
- Consumption of this block may vary depending upon animal body condition, quality and quantity of forages, seasonal weather conditions, and most importantly, feeding locations of blocks with respect to loafing, grazing, feeding and watering areas.
- If additional vitamin and mineral fortification is desired, provide an appropriate STOCKADE® self-fed mineral supplement in addition to this supplement.
