    Thick Placenta suffocating newborn calves

    If you have selenium in the soil it gets into the plants and then the animal grazing.. That is why selenium is regulated in feed... It is a heavy metal. I worked with an old Oil well logger to try to find the selenium zone in water wells by using radioactive logging of the well. When found...

    Thick Placenta suffocating newborn calves

    I found one last week the same day that I had the one I got on a bottle and the mother laid on it. It was laying on its back at the edge of a dry shallow creek channel. It was clean, but I can only guess on it. I think it was the same thing. That mother walked 4 days looking for her calf...

    Found a dead newborn this morning. Still wet and Mama had tried for a while I could tell. I was watching one have a claf the other evening. She did not have any trouble, and she was one of my older cows, one of the original herd 10 years ago. I watched and when she went to the calf's butt...
