[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 921827, member: 14661"] The first sign was runny mucous or none at all on the hot cows. Then I started getting "cystics" that weren't cystic. We had about ten percent more opens on vet check but still really good checks. First service conception dropped but it held up in second and third service so nobody else noticed. I saw it because I was breeding more cows than I should be. (which is great for me but my job is to support the dairymans business) I had to dig through dairy comp and go back for three years and show how the cows had performed year round, specifically under stress/heat stress, and then compare it to the year in question and then it was fairly obvious...Three weeks after he had pulled the mineral his components took a very slight dip, first service started to suck, mastitis became a little more of a problem heat stress lasted ALOT longer than it had in previous years... all of it was really subtle but when we started looking at specific dates it all pointed to just after he pulled the mineral.
