[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 837635, member: 1715"] Yes I can see it in some of my stockers I asked my vet but he is a dairy man... :bang: so I followed up with the regional mineral rep. who pushes the expensive stuff. He quoted some studies that did liver biopsies on red tinged and non red tinged cattle, saying that some but not all red tinged cattle are short on copper, and there were some breed tendencies, with Simi being one that need more copper than average. and then I ran out of copper sulfate for a couple months and some, not all, or my "black" Simi crosses turned a red tinge. Including one Simi cross cow, and her 2 year old heifer who both turned red... :?: Good thing my Herefords are not black :banana: [/QUOTE]
