[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1131452, member: 9096"] I didn't really "decide" it was the root problem, it's more of a suspicion. Take one of my heaviest producing cows I had, Tizia, her first calf was a heifer weaned at very close to 700 lbs, and she didn't breed back that year... we kept her anyhow and her next calf was a 740 lb steer, followed by a 700 lb heifer.. If she calved late and was exposed to the bull soon after calving, she'd settle the first time every time, when she was early, and had to milk 3 months before seeing the bull, she'd have a hard time. That pointed me in the right direction.. she had subclinical deficiencies of Se, P and Cu... just not enough that she was *sick*, but enough to affect her. [/QUOTE]
