[QUOTE="SixBucksADay, post: 716252, member: 13369"] We experienced a severe copper deficiency on a new place we started running. It was a secondary deficiency caused by excessive molybdenum. We could not catch them up with a general, over the counter range mineral. We ultimately wound up giving them all a copper bolus (Coppersure) and thereafter kept them on a custom, chelated mineral high in copper and balanced with zinc. The chelated variety was essential in our case. The operator who ran the place before us had terrible conception rates and never understood why. We were able to nip it in the bud and have been going along just fine (except for the expensive mineral bill). Before the coats turned that reddish hue around the neck, back, and shoulders, we first started noticing a dull coat and unthrifty appearance. Their eyes had a dull look as well. Copper is stored in the liver. The only way to test is a liver biopsy. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
