[QUOTE="GreenerGrass, post: 6546105, member: 3595"] Thanks KP! I blood tested them before and everything was fine, Copper came back a bit low in one, but the vet wasn't too concerned. I know that's just a snapshot. and it always niggles me that I don't have forage samples, but I know they have drawbacks and variation too. I've got some garlic and salt lick buckets with them, "just in case", they contain a few elements as well will photograph a label later. I actually was reading a thread on iodine elsewhere on here, and I bought some KI pharmaceutical grade. Where the ram lambs are I have to take water to the field, so I was going to give them a very dilute amount in the water (because some may drink more). Just to see if it does anything. I know their biology is probably adjusting to the new grass also, so it might be a false positive. I've 85 ram lambs, so I was figuring adding 10 grams total (split 2grams each)over 5 x20 litres old lick buckets that I am using as water troughs). They should drink that over about 2 days in current weather. Hopefully everyone will get some and no-one would get too much. I think they excrete surplus anyway, so probably only an o/d risk if you horsed it into them? [/QUOTE]
