[QUOTE="J Hoy, post: 1758060, member: 16398"] Nope, not lonely. Just running out of time to save the wild and domestic young ones, so the young humans will have them around when/if they survive to grow up. Thank you, Hereford2. Ken, the data on cattle states that 3 of 100 calves die of Weak Calf Syndrome (WCS) each year. Here in Montana that would be well over 20,000 calves. Since I have helped treat many WCS calves in the past, I know how much WCS makes them suffer. Also, with wild grazing animals - not fed hay in the winter - those with an underbite can't bite off enough food to survive and die a slow death that is painful to watch, so it is likely not that pleasant for the affected animal. I am very happy that your cattle are not being affected. Providing the proper minerals helps counter the effects of whatever is actually responsible for the disrupted bone growth, because one of the prime suspects is a patented mineral chelator. I commend you for doing a good job. [/QUOTE]
