[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 638763, member: 3162"] Sorry you had such a tough break after going to all the extra work. CMPK paste is not very expensive. When a cow goes down, usually you can put two tubes of paste in her and she gets up within 30 minutes. I don't know how it works, but it works if you catch them quick. Since my cows have loose minerals free choice, it is not about a mineral deficiency. An old vet put me on to that trick a few years back and I was amazed at the results. Mail ordering a dozen tubes of the paste will only cost you about $5 a tube. I keep it on hand now that I have seen it work. My oldest cows are 6 years old now but there are still tubes around, just in case. You spoke of spending money. Yes I have spent a few hundred on a 3 day old calf only to have it die anyway. [/QUOTE]
