In Tennessee, December prevention for grass tetany may save more than the cost of cure in February and March, Dr. J. R. Ragan of the state Department of Agriculture warns. The disease hits beef cows on young, fertilized pastures, especially late winter and early spring, with signs from nervousness to convulsions. Prevention should start two weeks before calving, including magnesium supplementation, better nutrition, pasture history checks, and staged grazing. Researchers note mixed grass legume pastures reduce risk versus pure grass.
