Never again the amount of complaining about opening and closing gaps. He even asked would I send someone to open and close them. His big issue was that it was only 1 bag urea/acre.

whelan1 wrote: » put bottle in some warm water , this makes it easier to inject, vet was unable to administer it here one day as the syringe was too hard to push down

delaval wrote: » We have had 3 cases in milkers and all getting meal with cal mag. All were bulling and under pressure. Our farm would be low in Mg. We have started dusting Calmag again about twice a week as is no rain to be sure. Maybe someone could clarify for me but I imagine that if we are having clinical cases they're probably sub-clinical cases also. We are particularly prone to Tetney here had seen cases every month of the year
