Do you guys with lots of range have problems with milk fever?

I always switch to "Spring Mineral" with double the magnesium about a month prior to calving - - - if not the first or second calf cows will get grass tetany and if not treated quickly will die. I always keep hay in front of them even though they start eating the watery grass that does not have the normal minerals in it yet.

Many of the hobby farmers will lose several head until they learn proper management for this area.
