@jdschopfer @RobSomerville1 @frankld79 @gbtangus Definitely a complex issue. Liver biopsies tell us where the cow is at, feed/water tests help us determine background levels and if any antagonists are present. From there you can make adjustments. Trace minerals may take ~3 months to see progress. Macro min/vitamins is faster.

@RobSomerville1 @frankld79 @gbtangus @BeefSmart_Inc

How much lead time does mineral supplementation require to improve a cow's mineral status? Days, weeks, months? It may vary depending upon the mineral that is lacking. I have heard of quick responses from vitamins but I am unsure about minerals.
