[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 184567, member: 2653"] Frankie, I spent about 5 or 6 hours there last night, explaining to him exactly what he needed to do.(At least in my opinion) The actual "doctoring" only took me about 20 or 30 minutes.The rest of the time we just talked. The good thing is that he understands that he needs help, and is willing to listen and ask.I really think that his case was just a matter of ignorance, and too scared to ask for help. When my wife told him that I had cows, he and I started e-mailing, because we're close in age, I guess he felt that I wouldn't lecture him. I think that the cows will come back from this, but boy this was a train wreck about to happen. I'm going back in about two weeks to "spring work" his cows for him, and I'm sure they will be better. He just sent me an e-mail saying that the moma in question was spunky this morning and eating feed. Woohoooo! By the way, I made him take the salt out, because the cows "may" eat the salt instead of the minerals, and the minerals have salt in them. Also, at this point with his cows, they all need minerals, big time. I would have like to had enough time to give all of his cows electrolytes every other day until they get better, but he lives 1.5 hours from me. [/QUOTE]
