Since grass tetany is basicly a lack of enough magnesiam. Should a person feed a good quailty high mag mineral 30 days prior to calfing and then continously while they are nurseing calfs ?
 
The beef specialist where i purchase my mineral says to start feeding HI Mag in the month of Feb. continue thru June. then go to a mineral with less mag and more phosphorus. Just be familiar with the choice`s your mineral company supplies.

Real good advise here blk mule.
I figure your ground is alot like mine and selenium deficient too.
I feed the vita-ferm cow calf 5 starting in january (calving in march)then late march I switch to breeder booster+mag.
Great mineral, pricey but worth it IMO
