Do you mean that this man is taking cows  who have  been on a low brix pasture
and they become healthy on a high brix pasture? Am I right in assuming that
these cows were not raised primarily on grains or other less healthy foods? If
that were the case, these sick cows might become healthy on any old pasture.
