[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1743580, member: 17524"] FWIW, I didn't even notice sunnyblueskies was from Alberda. I was just addressing her problem in general, hoping to shed some light on the problems she mentioned. We had extensive health problems in our cattle in the 80's and early 90's, so much so that we moved from one end of Montana to the other. The Vigortone area sales manager came to our place and identified the problem--our cattle were copper deficient. We had searched for 9 years to find an answer to the problems we were having. We tried everything to solve it, except mineral. But that's what the problem was and as soon as we added a year-round mineral program, we hardly ever had a sick calf or had anything that needed to be doctored. It saved our whole operation. We were ready to quit. So after going through that, we decided to help anyone we could so they wouldn't have to go through what we did. I see things, I hear things, problems that don't need to exist when you get the immune system as good as it can be...which is accomplished with adding a mineral program. Sick cattle aren't normal, healthy cattle are normal. I intend to avoid conversations like this in the future. Thank you for your kind words, gcreek. It's fun to work with someone who wants to find a better way. Edited to add: You are a class act, gcreek. It's an honor to know you. [/QUOTE]
