[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1194829, member: 19938"] Allforage I am not sure about the grass vs the blood work. I only clipped the Dalisgrass for the vet to send off with the samples. We were quite confident that we would find evidence of the fungus at that time, but did not. Obviously we have a mixture of other grasses to look at for Se. So that may be a consideration. However, probably a waste of money due to the fact that we are known for extremely low levels here. As far as "salt" goes, yes the loose mineral has it included. But obviously, if they are not craving salt at various times, they are not getting enough Se. So I am thinking that depending solely on the loose mineral route is not going to work for me, and caution everyone about thinking that their animals are safe from deficiencies just because they have them available. Thanks for the info Regolith. I was wondering about the pasture application. Unfortunately it would not be possible to remove my cattle from the field for 3 weeks. :( Sky I also give Se injections at birth. However they only last them 30-60 days. My best defense is going to be the slow release boluses in addition to Muse injections, I believe. I will retest some blood work in a few months to see if my plan is working. [/QUOTE]
