I am learning each and everyday about many different topics with cows and calves.  Where can you give a calf a shot of selenium? can you give it in the hip.  also if I remember right it can also be an intramuscular shot or a subcut.  Intramuscular works a little faster is that correct? Thanks

I was walking past a pasture and saw a cow down on its front knees and she was like rubbing her head and neck in a spot where there was no grass and it was just dirt.  I have never seen this happen before what would some reasons be for this?   I walked over closer to the fence to look at her...
