[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 509874, member: 6198"] okay, since you are putting in the time and effort to raise pure breds, possibly for re sale, my suggestion would be a Vet. Get the vet to draw blood and do a work up on the blood to look for problems. Sounds like a mineral problem IMO. Not all mineral is created equal or for specific areas. Just a general all purpose mineral for any one and everyone. Does not always work Look at the tag and compare diferent brands. Nutritionists are usually more in tune with the mineral diffeciencies. Talk to your local ag office, they might have a nutritionist that does not work on commission to help you out. Prime example: 1 to 1 mineral co-op brand and feedrite brand. We used to use feedrite. co-op came out with there own. So we bought theirs. Within 6mo we could not keep a fence post in the ground. The cows were eating them, the barn, corrals anything with wood. Suddenly it dawned on us to change mineral. Within a month or 2 the fence posts stopped disappearing...costly change... [/QUOTE]
