Sometimes learning is expensive, but the knowledge you how learned is priceless. Sorry for your losses. But, Good Lord will give it back to you in time.

We used to raise animals in a selenium deficient area. Every baby born was given a shot of BoSe. Now I give MultiMin to all the animals.

Weasel from Kentucky here. Glad you have the stress lifted off your shoulders. It’s the unknown that worries us the most. Keep on top of everything and remember an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Glad to hear you got it figured out. I've dealt with deficiencies before too, I've found that multiple sources helps a lot. I have salt and mineral lick blocks and molasses mineral lick tubs spread out around the pasture and I dump mineral pellets on top of their feed once a week to keep everyone healthy and happy. A few of my cows just refuse to lick the salt blocks so I had to seek out other methods.

I would go with free choice loose mineral. They can't get enough from the mineral blocks fast enough by licking them but with free choice loose mineral they can get what they need quickly.

Great information video Tyler glad everything has calmed down for ya. Always knew goats to have that mineral difficiency but never the cows but it good to know now.

Definitely recommend a good tub mineral. The cows really like it and it’s worth the price

Glad to hear you got some answers for possible causes of the cow's death. Good to see you were able to get the herd treatment & an idea of what you needed to add to their further treatments. Thanks for sharing information you've learned. Stay safe.

I'm glad you got the answer, and your instinct/training had already taken you in the right direction. I was wondering about the bulls, gladly you answered that too. I learn quite a bit from your videos, they do more for me than most of the others. Maybe it is because your 'operation' is similar to mine.

Excellent recovery glad the cows are doing fine good job thanks for sharing

As difficult as this outbreak was, you now have good information going forward. I know you will thoroughly analyze options. I’m curious to know what the neighbor’s results from UCD revealed. So happy everyone is doing better. I look forward to Tuesday and Friday just to see your videos!

So glad the problem is apparently over and that you got the results from Davis. This area (Caliente-Tehachapi-Lake Isabella, more or less) is also selenium deficient. Now that you mention it, the muscle weakness and failure to thrive symptoms of that calf that died do look similar to those caused by selenium deficiency in newborn goat kids. Hopefully, the measures you plan to take will keep something like this from happening again. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

Thank God for your Quick thinking and being a Caring Person and you pay attention to your Animals., keep doing what you do Tyler it’s a lesson learned and I know nothing about what you are doing 6-9-2022👍🏽👍🏽

I feed a loose mineral that is custom blended by our co-op because those "Trace" mineral blocks are kind of a joke! I have loose mineral, a trace mineral block with selenium and a white salt block in the mineral feeder, this gives the cows a choice. When I started using loose minerals back in the day, the cows really went thru it at first, but after a few days the consumption went way down. Not only is a better mineral package better for your herd, but any by pass minerals are usually good for your soil as well! Glad you got the answers you were looking for Tyler

Kenton Decker Actually this statement reaks of Justin Rhodes. No animals do not h ave a clue that they need to lick copper in a plastic tray or manganese or selenium!!! I'd like to strangle the moron that started this idea!!! If you read any research material all mammals require basic vitamins & minerals. Without them they can have growth problems or become sick. But even humans don't know what the F they need to eat!!! That's why nutritionally balanced feed mixes are good to feed to all cattle -- so they receive micronutrients which may be deficient in the soil which their pasture grasses are growing in.

@@BrianBriCurInTheOC actually I have been studying this for quite some time, observed other people (not Justin Rhodes) using this method and it works quite well. I've seen cows use a lot of one mineral in a paddock and use a totally different mineral in a second paddock, when the soil and vegetation was tested in both paddocks, they come back as being deficient in the minerals the cows were eating the most of on those paddocks.

JUSTIN RHODES KILLED 6 SHEEP AND A JERSEY COW BECAUSE HIS PASTURES ARE CRAP WEEDS AND THEIR BELLIES WERE FULL OF PARASITES!!! And are you next going to tell me Diatomaceous Earth is better than drugs to de-worm animals. There is no legitimate scientific evidence to back up DE as effective and the only sure manner to provide minerals is to add it to their feed. If you want to follow Justin, go right ahead! But as far as I am concerned he is a clown that does not know how to hold a real job. He tried to run a youth ministry but he failed at that. Justin Rhodes and Jesse Stafford of Pure Living For Life (KZread and other Social Media Platforms) are scam artists that are spreading manure on the internet.

We give Seluim to all cows(Not bred heifers) just before calving(2 weeks). We also have tubs and blocks of minerals as well as in there ration. It's just maintainance and most Dairy farms follow this. Ofcourse Beef is a different Beast but l know a few that have mineral wagons/stations, it's really cheap insurance. I don't know if you have coyotes, but if there around they can pass on disease by there feces. They are a diseased animal causing birth defects and aborting as well. It doesn't matter whether your a large or small farm it hurts you bottom line and can affect you personally. It's hard not have emotions. Even myself at twice your age still gets upset at loosing a cow that's not even my own!!

Not sure I'd go straight to injectable minerals, mainly because it's labor intensive. I adopted my grandpa's approach, and use a sack mineral in a feeder with salt blocks. He used to put out both white and yellow salt, but I only put out yellow salt. Just another idea. Glad to hear you came out mostly on top.

Selenium is very critical. It’s low in our region. Any thing we feed we make sure that it has selenium. Lot of mineral blocks and some feed don’t have it.. I’m glad you are getting it under control. Have a good weekend

Glad you came through the worst of it! We have had mineral deficiencies in copper and selenium too! We had been using MultiMin90 via the vet, but they hated those shots (they stung I believe). We used Redmond Salt Selenium 90 free choice, but that didn't address all mineral needs and copper. We now have free choice loose chelated heifer/calf mineral from Crystal Creek in Wisconsin. It is more biologically available and has a selenium yeast that is also easier to uptake. We blood test the same cow every few months via Washington State University to monitor the levels. Not as accurate as tissue test (after harvest or via necropsy) but does show if something is going on. Best wishes as you move forward! Moo!
