[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 736074, member: 968"] We don't wait to SEE if a calf NEEDS it. They all get BoSe & A&D shortly after birth. I have visited with several breeders that never fed mineral with SE or gave shots & said they never had a problem --- then all of a sudden, they were losing calves left & right & vet said it was SE deficiency. It is a very strange thing. If you buy in feed from other areas, it may contain enough SE. But, if your cattle eat only feed grown on your property, they can't get it from their diet (if you are in a deficient area - which is almost all of the USA according to those articles!). [/QUOTE]
