[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1832158, member: 968"] Question was asked ...what minerals are lacking. Main ones are calcium and phosphorus. One of the most important IN MY AREA and a LOT of areas in US is Selinium. Lack of SE causes lower conception, retained placental, long labors, slow calves, and white muscle disease in calves. I had a beef specialist that used my herd to determine mineral needs in our area. He drew blood and we had custom minerals made for our area and added extra SE each year, until our herd finally had a NORMAL blood level of SE. We had to triple the recommended amount of SE. We no longer have the ability to have custom made minerals, but we give every newborn a Multimin shot. @Travhow long ago has it been since you had cattle? Areas have gotten more depleated for basic minerals than what they used to be. But, again, YOUR area at that time might not have had a major issue. [/QUOTE]
