[QUOTE="puzzled in oregon, post: 1798411, member: 40255"] I think with this little cow it was like with some people that may have an isolated deficiency. She had access to the same protein tubs, same trace mineral blocks/selenium etc. as all of my cows, which isn't very many. She has a big cow appetite, maybe weighs 650 lbs., weaned a 6 month calf that weighed 480#, I know that is not big by some standards, but in relation to her size it's not to bad. That is about the equivalent of a 1400 lb. cow weaning a 1000 lb. calf at 6 months. She puts a lot into her calf during gestation and after. This area of Oregon is also known for low selenium, but getting her a proper balance of Calcium and Phosphorus was the focus. Conversation with my veterinarian, the calcium deficiency was also her thought as to why there was no hard labor. Most of you would not have allowed this little cow to live, but as a calf she was determined to survive, and her mom was determined to take care of her, and I have a problem with the idea of her swinging on a meat hook. So she stays, and yes she gets a lot of of attention when she is close to calving, she gets checked every 2-4 hrs 24/7. My choice. But my education continues :) [/QUOTE]
