[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1797310, member: 42463"] I had a neighbor in Arkansas that lost two cows in one day to grass tetany. As you said, from what I saw it's more about prevention than treatment. I doubt many people would recognize any signs in cows out in a field. The cows that were lost dropped in mid-stride. They were both upright on their chests, legs folded under them as though in the middle of taking a step. A yellow magnesium block in the spring when the fresh grass is coming on prevents it. Cheap insurance since mineral block salt is good for the animals anyways. [/QUOTE]
