    Scales and Rodents

    I once used the steel wool trick to keep mice out of the laundry room at the last house. They eventually chewed the wire then pulled the steel wool through the hole. It smelled enough to know what happened when we came home. Lucky for us it tripped the breaker.

    Can cattle OD on minerals

    They will slow down when it's not needed. I once had a lick on bad pasture 2 summers ago. It was gone a week. Took a month on average before and since then. I could smell it in the plop on the ground after they were done with it.

    Murphy’s Law of cattle

    Think of history, as the story goes in the 1800s. People buried everything. Never know what we can find under our feet.

    cattle body structure/condition

    Ours was a warm winter and find we had to worm again over the holidays. Messed up our harvest dates for next week. Usually we do it in the spring but the ground hasn't had a hard freeze this year. May try those few again, depending on when you did it originally.
