Allow for that and don't overdose. You don't remember correctly. Green grass is LOW in magnesium which is why cattle who are primarily grazing on green grass need to be supplemented with magnesium (usually in the form of magnseium oxide) in order to keep from getting hypomagnesmia, also knows as grass tetany. Here is from the following website: "Grass tetany is a serious, often fatal metabolic disorder characterized by low levels of magnesium in the blood serum of cattle. It is also called grass staggers and wheat pasture poisoning. It primarily affects older cows nursing calves less than two months old, but it may also occur in young or dry cows and growing calves. It happens most frequently when cattle are grazing succulent, immature grass and often affects the best cows in the herd." http://cattletoday.info/grasstetany.htm kat Orange County, Calif. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
