[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1307788, member: 19938"] Through my research I discovered that calves start to loose their mineral stores from gestation after the first few months. I know for sure that they do not get Selenium or Mag in milk. (Probably missing others also, but those are biggys for me.) So if they have not learned to hit the loose minerals fairly young, they can be very deficient by the time they are 4-6 mos. old. I would like to add that though my herd was deficient, (some severely) they had loose minerals available at all times. They were on irrigated pasture with a good variety of healthy forage and were fat as hogs. They never exhibited the most common symptom of "retained placentas" . (SE) So I can not stress enough how variable deficiencies are by location and symptoms! Cattle that you think are healthy and vibrant can be suffering. Only the blood work will tell you the truth.
