[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1583580, member: 24565"] Red calf coat is a sign of copper deficiency as hook said. We talk a lot about forage, soil, minerals and animal response and or signs of deficiencies. What we sometimes overlook is the water quality. Water with a high sulfur content or other issues will do as much harm as the wrong minerals, the lack of minerals, ... I knew a hog farmer with scattered operations. Same hogs did terrible on a newly purchased farm. He was sure it was a pathogen so he cleaned, treated, restocked (feeders) and had the same problem. Finally he was told to check the water. Bingo. Below discusses dairy cows but the same ideas for beef will work. source [url]https://essentialfeed.zinpro.com/2019/04/copper-are-we-feeding-more-than-what-is-needed-for-dairy-cattle-nutrition/[/url] [/QUOTE]
