[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1743435, member: 12520"] Toad River is hundreds of miles from here so I don’t get your point on that. Williams Lake might be a closer comparison, I’m not sure. I have no doubt the FH s knowledgeable about the areas that she is familiar with and cares about helping people. However, even “experts” make false assumptions and it can be misleading if not harmful. I don’t doubt that the good folks at Vigortone could make valid recommendations for my operation IF they had accurate feed and soil analysis and a health history of my place. Because you mentioned it ( nobody including FH has ever asked) I actually have been feeding a mineral custom blended for my area for two years. I’m always interested to see if I’m missing something. Sometimes you don’t know you had a problem until it goes away. I believe I will give it one more year. But this far by carefully documenting calves treated, mortality, herd conception, herd health, weaning weights etc. I have not yet seen a difference. But I will feed it one more year and study it hard before making a decision. [/QUOTE]
