Mineral deficiency? Or is it toxicity?

[Dave-Trinity-Farms]

The thing with doing blood mineral tests is that they only are able to tell you the mineral levels of the animal at that particular time. As seasons, water and feed change, even day to day, so do their mineral levels. But its still worth it to do it. Our vet has us do the 3 worst looking animals and the 3 best looking animals to get a herd average. At that time we had just started doing mulitmin90 injections, had CHS 16/8 goat mineral plus out for them free choice. Our animals came back low / normal range for selenium. Low / normal range for magnesium. Low / low range for both copper and zinc. We are dry lotted and feed nothing but alfalfa year round. Been over a year since we started doing the mulitmin90 and we now crush up zinc pills and add them to their loose mineral. We copper bolused once but didnt see much help from it. Still fighting to get them all at a good average.
