Parasites, vitamin issues, lack of baking soda, probably a rumin issue now, and just poor nutrition.
giggles she learned this fast
be careful of too much alfalfa, its high in calcium and can cause hypocalcium during pregnancy, learned that tough, and what started paige on her decline and loosing her! this was the last image of her before she passed away filled with kids, she was in the lowerlevel and I was with her but it was just awful, the other image was late summer last year, she was such a good girl going to have her 2nd freshening
Oops.It’s been a wild summer, I can’t remember if I’m coming or going.
definitely. I feed a very limited amount of alfalfa unless they're in milk and they're in milk and the kids are on the ground I really push it up. in all but the last month of gestation during the winter time they get a limited amount balance with a grass hay they'd rather not have. too bad though only a certain amount per day. then they can go work on the round bales or eat the grass hay in the feeders.
baking soda is something I offer free choice only to does.
Hi, I'm still around! Super busy because it's fair time around here, and even though I didn't enter anything this year, life still seems to revolve around the various county fairs for a few weeks.
Aww..I miss this. Are those speckled white ones SBEL'S?
