[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1154405, member: 18945"] Thanks. And thanks for the more detailed explanation, tho some of it was 'above my learnin'. I found this interesting too--especially the prognosis for recovery. From the link, more than 1/2 would still be expected to die regardless of how the water was re-introduced after not having any for that length of time. That's .5%--not 5% of the bull's weight. If the bull weighed 1500 lbs, that means only 7.5 lbs of water would be prudent to be made available to start with--which equals less than 1 gal. (IF my math is correct) I'll have to consider this when feeding 2:1 or 3:1 range meal next winter--never gave it much thought before, tho my cattle are never without plenty of water. [/QUOTE]
