[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1584167, member: 24816"] Thank you Ebemezer, that is a very informative chart. It could very well be that it is a mineral issue. We were feeding a mineral that should have been more than sufficient however in thinking about it their were circumstances that were a bit different last year in which they may have not consumed enough to benefit. We have always had trouble with mineral feeders getting torn up, so had a now deceased friend build some. I placed them close by in and around our barn lots. The thinking being I could more easily keep them in mineral. Last year was extremely wet and grass was unusually available so they stayed in the back 40 literally a lot more than normal. So the ones that calved later could have had more mineral consumption when coming to feed in winter, whereas the ones that calved in early winter did not get what they needed. [/QUOTE]
