They will go crazy and eat alot of the tubs for a few days... once they get it into their system, they should slow down some. The cows do the same with the 200 lb tubs when I put them out... It's a combination of the molasses, making them sweet to get them to eat them... and their body maybe craving some trace mineral that gets satisfied and then they will go to consuming what they need rather than gorging themselves on them. Put them farther from their water source so they have to leave and go get a drink... will slow the consumption down some... some will be hogs and constantly work on them. Sometimes you may have to take them out for a day or 2 if they don't moderate their intake... It's like grain... some will be total pigs all the time..
