[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 1092804, member: 9198"] I am not at all an expert on this subject so I should keep my mouth shut except … years ago CB made a very profound statement that I have never forgotten. The subject was on raising cattle, providing HVAC sheds for the animals, calling a vet out every time a cow had a calf, etc, etc,etc and CB said "keep grass in front of a cow and a bull behind" and they will do just fine. If, according to your experts, the animals are showing signs of Sulfur poisoning STOP FEEDING THEM Sulfur. How much more simple can this be? Again, I'm no expert but I have NEVER heard of a good quality hay (or grass) that contains more Sulfur than is needed by the animal so why are you trying to supplement your feeding program with very costly molasses mixes that contains Sulfur. As TB has tried to tell you that one likely source of Sulfur (not the hay or grass but that [u]is[/u] an unknown) is your water and IF that's the case, put a water trough in and keep it full of good, Sulfur free water. By the way, have you had your feed (hay) analyzed? What was the assay? Have you had your source of water tested? What was the assay? [/QUOTE]
