    Help!!!! Newborn calf with white muscle disease!

    Make sure that if it is white muscle that you may want to dose your cows prior to calving. I would also make sure they have high selenium mineral in front of them. You probably already do that but the multimin can be used on those cows. Might help.

    When is it considered overkill?

    I am faced with these questions every year. I am an Ag teacher and have several students under my supervision with animals going to the fair. Some don't have the facilities or the knowledge to care for their animals. It all comes down to ethics. In my opinion an exhibitor earns the right to show...
