We vhange from regular minerals to Hi-Mag in February so that the levels will be hgih enough when the fresh fast growing grass comeson and the ladys start calving. Putting it on the pasture will help the asture soil, but the uptake of the lime in the feed is marginal. What it does in a pasture is frees up the other minerals that the plants need to grow well dun > I am interested in finding out how > people address magnesium > supplementation for their cows.
