[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1613941, member: 16453"] I lost one several years ago to what I suspected as botulism from Chicken litter. I had it fenced off with step in posts and hot wire but I think some calves knocked it over, the cow that died was one I saw inside the fence. my intention was to spread it out the following day after I had moved the cows on but she was dead in the morning. I lost two last winter in my scrub block that I suspect from botulism, very bad drought conditions where cows low in phosphorous chew bones. Perfectly normal one day coming up for feed, missing the next, bodies found a couple of months later, no sign of any struggle. We have a one shot vaccine "Longrange" for it which I gave them after the problem, I'll give them another annual shot this autumn before they go back in there. Ken [/QUOTE]
