[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 496903, member: 6897"] Calcium deficiency is an exception rather than a problem. Grazing and supplemental hay normally will supply a cows calcium needs and if you supplement I can assure you that your feed company is putting plenty of calcium in the feed because it is cheap. Milk refer is more times than not a man made problem created by feeding too much calcium during the last tri-mester of pregnancy. The calcium content in the blood builds up tremendously and when she gives birth suddenly a large amount of that calcium is pulled from the blood by the cows for milk production rather than pulling it from the bone which is preferred and natural. This sudden drop in blood calcium content is what causes milk fever. That my friend is why we give "Ca" IV for milk fever, along with M,P,and K. [/QUOTE]
