[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 1197449, member: 852"] Yes - I think 5-6 is where you want the urine pH in the close up cows. Neutral pH is 7. Normal for cattle is 7-9. The stinging sensation may be related to concentration and composition of urine. IMO there's a difference between feeding free choice (agree it's a good idea for transition cows) and overconditioning those cows. And of course, overconditioned cows that go off feed are in serious trouble. [/QUOTE]
