Expert Posts: 2013 Location: Piedmont, OK	I would make sure there are mineral, salt and sulfur blocks available 24/7 but you should probably pull blood to see what he is deficient or lacking. I give all of mine kelp (from Animal Element) which is a great trace mineral in addition to the mineral, salt and sulfur blocks.
