[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14187"] The soil is selenium deficient, due to fate. In Saskatchewan, you can have one field selenium deficient, and the next have excess selenium. And they are commonly in drought there, so rainfall is not a factor. It is literally a mineral in the soil. If it is not there, all plants will be deficient including on pasture. Here in Ontario, we are generally quite deficient, and supplement either with bulk mineral or mineral licks. Crystalix is one I found very palatable for my cattle, but there are other licks without protein and molasses. Purina and others make them--and they contain selenium. All bagged minerals here also contain it, so you have many choices. I also believe that all calves should receive an injection of selenium at birth and in severe areas, again at 1 month in preventative not therapeutic dosages. [/QUOTE]
