IT looks like bloat. When there is rapid increase in the temps during the day, cows can get bloated. I had 3 cows that died that way in one day. I checked on them in the morning and they were fine. I went back 6 hours later and they were bloated. Due to the heat, their stomachs produce too much gas and the expanded stomachs put pressure on the lungs and they can't breath. The animals can be saved if someone is there when it goes down. A Vet can insert a valve that allows the gasses to escape through the side of the animal.
Correct, but when we have had food plants burned to the ground, msm talking about food shortages and cabal members like Gates telling us to get use to eating bugs... I'd say there's a point calling everything out until proven otherwise.
It should be very easy for this farmer or someone with knowledge to tell us what's up here.
The annual number of beef cattle harvested is close to 95 million, which works out to about 28 billion pounds of beef. 3000 cattle dead due to heat isn't even a blip, although it represents about $3 million in lost sales to the rancher.
People keep getting worked up over wild speculation.
It happens every year when the temps get up to high 90s low 100s. The fermentation process in the gut really goes into high gear when the temperatures get too high. Changing the diet can reduce the bloat, but that's difficult to do on a huge scale.
Bloat is not caused by heat per se. Its caused by either a too rapid change in food source where a richer food, ie usually clover or alfalfa pasture is introduce too rapidly and put off more gas than the cows stomache can pass. Or sometimes peripherally by dehydration which disrupts their ability to process the gas and they can bloat. But heat is not a direct cause.

Your first hand actual knowledge is helpful. Everything looks like something sinister these days.

Is it possible that something was put into the feed that caused the bloat?
Bloat is one thing, but if this has never happened before on this scale, then it is something else, or something in addition to bloat.

Feed them wine metabisulphate? Cancel the ferment process
Poor beasts :(
I've seen that happen with sweet feed in the summer. I thought that was the only way that could happen.
It's probably worse with the sweet feed since it is the sugars in the feed that ferment.
What is "sweet feed," and did you see 10,000 cattle go down?
Grain based feed. Sorry I was thinking about horses. In the heat it will kill every horse that eats it. Don't know about cows. My mistake.
Well, these feed lots feed them grain only. And I know that can bloat cows, especially if they were grass fed and then switched quickly to grain.
I just wonder if there is more to it that that, though. Like, something in the feed that cause more bloat, rather than reduce it.
