[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 625197, member: 6797"] You raised this many animals and cannot remember the feed contents? Smells fishy to me. Flat out - no one on this board who raises cattle - would - at this stage would even be remotely considering a discussion on feed. The cost of a veterinarian visit and diagnosis is far less than the loss of your animals. So far the loss of calves has cost you around 3000 bucks if you value the sale of them down the road at 500 bucks each. You could probably have a veterinarian out there once a year for an entire herd health check - and a complete vaccination regime - for less than the cost of lost revenue you have experienced to date. Think on this. There is a reason people need to develop this relationship. I would drive to his house and drag him out of bed if required. There is where you need to focus your efforts. You have received solid advice - and come back with a feed discussion and no mention of veterinarian assistance. Makes me wonder at what I am reading. You got a problem and you are not going to solve it here on this board. Saving veterinarian costs by seeking advice from total strangers on an anonymous board - with your troubles - and stated experience with cattle numbers - is being [i]penny wise[/i] and [i]pound foolish[/i]. Let us know what happens after the visit - if indeed you are even planning to have one come out to see what can be done. Bez+ [/QUOTE]
