[QUOTE="hrbelgians, post: 677134, member: 7366"] I don't feel like I can actually give you a solution, but will share my similar experience. I was grazing a paddock which looked absolutely great (bud stage) grasses and legumes, but the cows bellered day and night. I even had 3 week old calves (4 of them) which ended up being lame after 3 days on this lot. Go figure?? Finally I decided something is wrong so I pulled them out and moved to a pasture which was actually all headed out (not as lush) and they were happy within 6 hours, plus 3 of the 4 lame calves were not lame within 12 hours after leaving this paddock with absolutely no treatment at all. I did tissue tests and have NOT definitely determined what went on. The test did not show an absolute reason for what happened. The nutritionalist felt that it was probably to much nitrogen?? All I do know is the mineral consumption dropped instantly and they were happy again?? Like I said not much of an answer. If I was making an attempt to give you advice, I would try a tissue test. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
