Jinglebob's post made me think of something that I saw yesterday.

We were sorting steer pairs from the heifer pairs, and two cows had gotten up next to the fence on one side of the pasture and were eating on something. I remembered that a calf had died there several years ago, and there was a bone pile. The cows were picking up the bones and chewing on them like crazy. I have heard that they are lacking something in their diet when they do this, but people that feed lots of mineral say their cows do the same thing. I think boredom is part of it too.

So my deep thought was:

If a cow is chewing on the bones of a dead calf, hoping to fulfill something she is missing in her diet, is she eating at a "calf-a-teria"?????????

I know, I know, that is bad, but I thought it was funny at the time. :roll:

That sounds like something Soapweed would come up with. I don't know whether to be proud of you or ashamed. :shock:

:wink:

Just teasin' here guys. :D

I'll tell ya what they are missing, tap. And it's CALCIUM. :shock:

I'll guarantee you that if you feed Vigortone 13-7 mineral,
they won't eat those bones. Years ago, I can remember when cattle
did that, it was said the cattle needed phosphorus. Well, guess what?
They ground the bones down and found the were more calicum
than phos.

And if other cattle around there are eating bones, the owners
aren't feeding the right formula. I just looked in Miles City today
at some Payback mineral. Can't believe they are still making
12-12 or 15-12 mineral. That formula is so outdated it's way
past it's use. And there is Processed Grain By-products in it too.
I was really disappointed. Shows me the companies that just want
to SELL you something, vs. a company that cares and does the
research to prove it.

And yes, calf-a-teria is FUNNY! You are sounding like someone else I know. :wink:

I like your line of thinking, Tap, and feel plumb honored that Jinglebob even thinks I could come up with something as good. :wink: :)

LOL at you guys.

Jinglebob, I am not nearly as "punny" as Soapweed. Not even in my dreams. He is the master.

FH, why would we want to buy something that nature already provides??

After our spring blizzard, this country should have plenty of calcium calf-a-teria's well into the future. What do you think I am dumb? :!:

Well, you have a point there. That is, if you don't care if they run to
every bone pile and start pickin' through it. What if one wants the same
bone as another. Would you say they got in a dog-fight over a bone,
or the cattle were on the prod? :shock:

Or what else would you call it? :wink:

Tap ever found s cow with a bone stuck in her throat. It's not pretty when it's been there awhile. In fact it could cause a build up of more bones. From the cow that died chewing on a bone.


JB does it mean you have gone off the Deep end when you think up these Deep thoughts?

Not sure if this is a deep thought or just scary truth.... but either way here ya go....





Voodoo Enronomics

Feudalism: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.
Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them and sells you the milk.

Communism: You have two cows. You must take care of them, but the government takes all the milk.

Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

Enron Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt-equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred through an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The Enron annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.

How's this for deep thought :roll: All this mineral talk reminded me of my 712 ruminant nutrition class taught by Robbie Pritchard. I remembered this mineral interrelations chart. OOOOHHHH makes my brain hurt just thinking back on those classes.
