[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1797322, member: 24816"] I’ve always thought that grass tetany was pretty much fatal except for a fairly short time period if you catch the symptoms in time. Prevention is my strategy, we feed a hi mag mineral from around the first of the year through mid May. I’ve also always heard it was mainly a problem for heavier milking cows with young calves. Doesn’t appear to be enough grass there to be the issue. I’d agree with others that there was something going on with those calves long before now. I would be interested to know the condition of the cows. If I were guessing I’d say it’s nutritional deficiency, and possibly some illness as a result of it. [/QUOTE]
