snipped 6KB of copy and paste stuff.

All stuff you said you couldn't find

Nope, can't find a SINGLE reference to the use of mineralised
FEED blocks in the UK.


amazing what you can do when you try

next lesson is how to snip. A lot of people have now set their
newsreaders to delete unread anything over 200 lines. I suggest that you
set that as a maximum and we will gradually bring you down until you can
post messages of about 4KB like everyone else.

A salt lick is a place not a thing here.

I'm speaking from long-time experience in matters equine.
We call a 'mineral block' a 'salt-lick'. Funny old world, what.


and shows that you have to know what you are talking about, you cannot
just assume that what is correct useage in one area will be the same in
another.

MAJOR cop-out, Jim.

You need a hobby. Try drink and women.

tsk tsk, temper temper,

He has a point, jim.




so in your own words what is the difference between a salt lick and

a



feed block.

Try actually addressing my points first, jim.

I can't find a SINGLE reference to the use of mineralised
FEED blocks in the UK.

now that's tough because I've seen them stacked up to the roof in many
feed merchants.


Someone was thoughtful enough to find a supplier of
mineralised supplementary feed licks for cattle
http://www.ccfarmers.co.uk/feed.asp , but that's still
a lick.

A lick and a block are the same thing, you ignoramus.


Not in my part of the world. A lick is a natual salt deposit.

Not if it's being sold by a commercial company, you doofus.


I can by salt, salt blocks, minerals mineral blocks, protien blocks with
minerals added, mollases with minerals added, and feed wiht minerals added

Your experience is too narrow, and because you're a
limited, narrower thinker, you naively believe that
your experience is THE experience. Look at that page:
http://www.ccfarmers.co.uk/feed.asp This company
says they sell feed licks and salt licks. Are you
suggesting they don't know their product line?

You're an idiot. Your "part of the world" is a little
backwater full of lowbrow idiots.

that is one problem with using websites without basic knowledge.

No, it's the problem with Gordon using the internet,
PERIOD. He has ONLY the most narrow, parochial, basic
knowledge; he is ill equipped to talk about the larger
world.

Too many terms mean different things in different countries.

If he weren't such a provincial moron, Gordon *could*
have noted that ~~shitweed~~ wrote:

And then he *might* have noted that the page I
referenced was for a company selling feed licks/blocks
and salt licks/blocks IN THE UK.

My reference and comments were apropos to
~~shitweed's~~ claim. The moron Gordon's fatuous,
narrow-minded comments are not.

in the UK a lick will tend to be salt based, with added minerals

a feed block will tend to be molasses and grain based with added
minerals.

yet there will inevitably be exceptions to this rule and some companies
will call their products "buckets" or "Rockies" or other terms of their
own. This isn't a problem as like the Texan company mentioned earlier,
they will include a list of most of the ingredients.

But do not try to use names used in one country in another, as they will
not necessarily be the same. Gordon is from the USA where they may speak
English but only after a fashion, and call things differently. This is
why people like Lotus who don't know anything meaningful about
agriculture in the real world can make themselves look complete idiots
when they quote US websites in a UK context or vice-versa.

You're not much brighter than Gordon; no surprise
you're trying to pull his scorched balls out of the fire.

Reread ~~shitweed's~~ claim:

I can't find a SINGLE reference to the use of
mineralised FEED blocks in the UK.

and then note that the site I referenced is a UK site.
That company CLEARLY is using "lick" and "block"
synonymously.

You're even stupider than I thought, because the
company in that site is not using the word "Rockies" as
a generic term; it is a trademarked name of a
particular lick ( = block) that they sell.

Proving that you graze hourly in the pasture of
stupidity, you are guaranteed to come back with some
sophomoric retort to try to show that you didn't
misunderstand. You DID misunderstand; little nuggets
of stupidity-grass will be falling from your lips even
as you compose your dimwitted retort.

unlike you who can insult absolutely everyone, but with a very limited
range of adjectives.

I suppose it is economical but it does mean that people tend to switch
off after the first rant.
Have you ever thought of increasing your vocabulary?
