[QUOTE="uscangus, post: 736185, member: 13261"] thanks for everyone generous responses. my dilemma is that getting access to the calves is very hard. each section of pasture is about 25 acreages. by the time is see them from work in the city, they are already 5 days old. i worked two and half hours away from my farm and end in the evening. usually, the best time to get the calves is just few days from birth. but after several days, they are hopping and running like a gazzle. i am pretty fit but they are very fast. the cows are usually appear nice and disposition is usually calm but when they have a calf-mother nature kicks in with its defense mode. usually, i feed most the cows with my hand but with a new calf-it is different. i might have a problem with a cow who is having a problem by loosing his BCS. i have a two 3-1 proteins with my winter feed and replaces them every two weeks plus mineral salts. i am thinking that i might have to worm the cow, check for parasites, and short of proteins. I thought that with my pasture hay for winter feed (about 7% protein) would be enough. with the 3-1 protein with molasses,mg,se, and copper, i thought that it should be enough. the other 14 mixed bred cows and cows do not have the same problem. i will probably call a vet or my friend who has extensive years of beef cattle. i am still puzzle for her lost of bcs. do anyone have any ideas what causing this dilemma. i am up for any advises. this newbie is "stump." anyway, thank you once again.
