Should my young boers have a mineral salt block?

They should have loose minerals, they can get more minerals and salt faster that way.

Ok I got the same block I give the horses I guess its ok until I get loose mineral salt.

Not loose mineral salt. Buy a good loose goat mineral. Sweetlix Meatmaker 16:8, Manna Pro Goat Mineral or Cargill Right Now Onyx Cattle mineral are just 3 types that are good. There are others out there but this is what is in my area.

No, they should have a good quality loose mineral available 24/7. Mineral and salt blocks are too hard to provide them with what they need. They are also hard on teeth because the goats tend to bite them when they get frustrated by licking.
