[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14265"] I use a mineral lick.... Krystalix for the selenium deficiency in this area. I will check with my vet, however, and see if these licks are doing the job. I use a salt block that has selenium also....and THIS particular heifer has spent a lot of time at the lick before calving. I wondered about the effect of her doing that, but assumed that she couldn't overdose on a lick. I have heard of some ranchers who give a vitamin a and d and e shot just before their cows calved, maybe something I should think about.... because of our situation this year, she was in a pen that was only two hundred by one hundred feet,(for about three weeks before calving) which didn't offer much exercise for her. She wasn't just in good, fat shape, she was fat and lazy... we won't be doing that NEXT year. And, I am seriously considering an angus bull for first calf heifers, unless I can find a red something that will throw a small calf for them.
