@autumnprairie sure, anytime you got a question about pigs let me know, I would be happy to help! And yes please do send me all the threads you got plus anything else that you think is important! I want to learn as much as I can plus more. Hehe cake and frosting I'm definitely going to try the animal crackers real soon!

When looking at the chart you will see the color range that is a base. If very light -deficient mid- consult a vet in that region dark- not deficient but possibly too much.

We are in a high copper and high iron... top of the chart yet like I said the counties east of me are pretty much deficient in everything. Some of the livestock vets are not aware of my county and they are use to just giving selenium and copper that would be very bad in my situation. Finding a good livestock vet can be very difficult and you may need to get quite a few referrals and try several out before you find one you are comfortable with.

What region are you in?

@Southern by choice Looks like my county is on the low side for copper with it being 7.6 +/- 1.5 ppm and in the medium range for selenium with it being 0.26 +/- 0.11 ppm unless I'm reading it incorrectly. I am in NE Oklahoma.
