Grass Tetany

[JW IN VA]

Just a friendly reminder since a lot of us are getting warm temperatures and the grass is greening.


Check the mineral and if you don't have HiMag out,put some in.Lost a 3 year old yesterday and couldn't tell if she rolled into a wheel track from where she was and bloated or if a grass tetany seizure put her there.They were out of mineral :hide: :dunce:

Good reminder. Sorry to hear you lost one, for whatever the reason was.

Is this a tub, free feed, or a block?

The timing of this post is crazy we just moved the cows to rye and rye grass this afternoon. I pulled them off after two hours, but they were looking bloated. I told my wife they were pigs.

I have always been told don't stop feeding your hay just because the winter grass pops.

We lost a cow a couple weeks ago. The rye grass went crazy in the cattle pens/ trap area and she was dead in the pens. I wondered if that is what happened to her.
