[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 875307, member: 9096"] I'm feeding 9:18 now to the entire herd, they're probably all low on phosphorus as they're pretty much always on Alfalfa. After they've been on that for a while I might switch to a 1:1. The entire herd doesn't seem to be too keen on the 9:18, but I'm giving the cow in question about 2 oz a day by hand for a while... rockridgecattle - That cow was a top producer, pretty much always had the biggest calf whether it was a heifer or steer With all my mineral deficiency research I have done recently I created a document which I posted in another thread, may be of interest to some people Going back through my memory, this cow's mother died suddenly about 5 years ago, we dont' know the causes, she was 16 and had no calf that year, was on hay through that summer... Looking back, that could have been sudden heart failure which is a symptom of copper deficiency. I posted a pic of her a long time ago asking what breed she was, most people said pure hereford, but since it seems that her family requires more copper, maybe she did have Simm in her as well [/QUOTE]
