[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 93281, member: 637"] I was reading a report from UT where they did a forage nutrient study. They ran it on the fescue since it is the #1 grass in Tennessee. I would like to have seen one on the clover, orchard grass and bermuda. It came back showing that it was [b]copper deficient [/b]with a sulfar excess. Sulfar makes copper unavailable to cattle in their diet. It also showed that the state was [b]magnesium deficient[/b] with a potassium excess. Potassium makes magnesium unavilable to cattle in thier diet. Here are some signs of copper def. and sulfar excess: Rough hair coat Poor growth Reproductive failure Decreased immune function The signs of Magnesium def is grass tetany. I did not know that Tennessee was considered deficient in these areas. I thought some of the others here would like to know also. [/QUOTE]
