[QUOTE="Global ovine, post: 7890057, member: 493"] Indeed, most interesting. I know some soil types vary widely in the cation : anion ratios. The pasture species grown on the more divergent soils can reflect those differences seasonally, i.e. in early spring when soils are still colder than 5 degrees C, grass species are heavily loaded with K causing a much higher metabolic risk to pregnant ruminants. However autumn grown grass would not be so affected. It would be interesting to see cation : anion profiles across the seasons to see if grazing management could be used to alter foetal gender balance. Or if this factor be used to advantageously manipulate gender balance by special feed mixes prior to mating in circumstances where one gender is more beneficial financially. [/QUOTE]
