182 Lauren Witzke: 3000 Cattle just keeled over and died in SW Kansas, They originally blamed the heat, but it is apparent that this is something far more sinister.

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.
