I ran across this TAI calculator on another site and thought that it may help some people figure out what their protocol schedule should be.

CAB said:The 14 day cidr protocol in theory is based on the MGA program that was used 3 to 4 decades ago with more sure ways to make sure the heifers get what they need when they need to get them.
I think most people have switched back to the 7 day protocol for one reason or another.
pweaver said:What is your mineral program and where are you located (state, province, etc.)? I really liked Right Now mineral, especially the weather resistant granular, but our dealer stopped handling it stating the formula had been changed. Did anyone else hear this? Tried VitaFerm as everyone swears by it, but our cows wouldn't eat it. Also don't like the powder texture. Haven't given up on it totally, but am concerned they aren't eating it and getting what they need. Or do they need it?
