[QUOTE="Big Cheese, post: 1222250, member: 23385"] If you keep a good free choice mineral for your cows out year round and a good protein supplement out during the winter with the mineral then you shouldn't have much if any calving problems. We don't put out salt blocks for our cows we make them get their salt from the mineral so that way they will be sure to get it in their system. If you have a big operation your going to always have the here and there calving problem but we have noticed since we started doing this that we haven't had many problems. Protein is big during the winter for calving. We put the 37% protein blocks out during the winter months and they work great. We had 6 dead calves in a row last winter and an older farmer told us to do this and it has worked great. Just my opinion on the matter. [/QUOTE]
