I am not an expert on cattle either. I have learned a few things over the years. If one is lacking minerals / vitamins, it is likely all are. I have been told calcium deficiency can cause a cow to be down. A neighbor gave me a book on beef cattle. I minimized the value of it and put it aside One day I took some time to skim through it. I was amazed at how good it is. Lots of great detailed information inside. The book is Storey's Guide to Raising Beef Cattle. Mine was given to me, but it is worth whatever you would have to pay for it. How long have you had cattle? Also the minerals are recommended to be fed free choice and available at all times. I hope your cow makes it through this.
Thank you good information
