Hi,

Cafeteria style free choice minerals will not work.  It is 
just a sales technique that can be easily taught and 
applied by salesmen with pretty good success (as a sales 
technique).

Cows do not have the mathematical abilities to balance their 
own rations, nor can they do it magically, or any other 
way.

This claim by salesmen was one of the first research 
subjects when the land grant universities were established.  
Since then it has been revisited countless times.  It's 
nonsense.
