[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 680740, member: 8265"] Thanks for the replies. Milkmaid, I think I'll wait on the LA200 as you said - I read others saying to base it on temperature. I gave the Lute - they only gave us one shot. She took it pretty well. Guess I was concerned after my experience the day after calving. I was reading that retained placentas can be related to selenium deficiency. So I gave her a shot of some stuff I had, and she went crazy as soon as the needle hit. I guess a few more days after calving makes quite a difference today in her attitude. We are quite selenium deficient around here, which is why I've been trying to sneak as much mineral in her as I can, but the vet said it isn't enough. I've been giving the calves a shot, but vet says I need to give the cow a shot a couple weeks pre-calving with MuSe. Seems odd to be shot-dependent - wonder how they used to raise cattle around here? Anyway, guess I need to get used to the placenta - one source said one can gently remove 7 to 10 days post-calving, so apparently they can hang around awhile. [/QUOTE]
