I was having a discussion with a neighbor that was having problems with weak or stillborn calves, and he was thinking it was due to a Selenium deficiency in the cow. This got me thinking; I have had three stillborn calves this year. I looked at the mineral that I have been feeding and I don't see any selenium in it. Could that be part of the reason I had three stillborn calves this year. I start feeding mineral once I get cows back to the farm around the end of October and feed it until end of May once they go back out on pasture. There are about five months where they don't get any mineral. This fall I switched to Panhandle Foundation 356 12-6; I don't see selenium on the label.
