Hello! HI!!! HOW ARE YOU??
Take them off the minerals!!! WHY? IF THEY WERE OFF THE MINERAL (WHICH THEY ARE ALWAYS ON) THEN YOU'D COMPLAIN I DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD MINERAL PROGRAM!!
Grass and hay ONLY!
I suspect they OD on the minerals.

Not me! You must have me confused with that slick mineral salesman who is making a fortune off of you while you kill your own cattle.Take them off the minerals!!! WHY? IF THEY WERE OFF THE MINERAL (WHICH THEY ARE ALWAYS ON) THEN YOU'D COMPLAIN I DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD MINERAL PROGRAM!!
Skin and bones. And it happened fast.
I have a good (at least expensive) mineral program.
good mineral program
they would lie around the water trough and had a crusty snot on their noses.

Read what you have stated.

With those clues and the fact that, other then grass and hay, minerals are the only thing they are getting should tell you something.
Why do you think they "lie around the water trough "?
How long have you been on this "expensive mineral program"?
How are you feeding the minerals?
Granulated or blocks?

At first I was thinking Johnes or even BVD but my gut tells me it's not either...
