[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 854165, member: 9096"] yep, it would.. could hardware in the stomach release a significant amount of iron? we haven't done soil samples as far as I know, but I don't think I've worn off enough plow shares to make it high in iron yet :P Spoke to the vet to day, going to get some blood samples done, if she is mildly low in copper it may not show up, but if the blood sample shows it's low, then she's probably really low, which is strange since the salt block we give contains copper. On the calcium/phosphorus balance, I would sooner suspect phosphorus as the lack since they are on a brome/alfalfa pasture, which is a poor absorber of phosphorus Another oddity about this cow this year is that the bulls hang around her for 3 days and she wants nothing to do with them until the 3rd day... not sure what's up with that Anyhow, I gotta run home to get the oat hay baled I was doing some math with info on a few websites I saw, and if my math is correct [/QUOTE]
