grassfarmer, I appreciate your comments although we are not in an environment that allows us to do what you do. We have way too many deer/elk in the area which has forced us to roll up our feed and put it in a protective compound. That leaves us with mineral supplementation.
We do not have scours. We do not vaccinate for scours. It's the management that makes this a non-issue for us.
The bottom line is we must all manage our herds in relation to the environment that we live in (soil type, weather conditions, type of operation - for example we have a "closed herd" aside from bulls, land base, etc.)
I still am curious though as to what causes plugged teats.
