[QUOTE="jscunn, post: 1464162, member: 1257"] MachSlammer, I have a friend in the upper Cumberland he might be able to recommend a good vet for a second opinion. I have a couple of questions/suggestions. 1. All Sired by the same bull? General makeup of the herd, all same breed (Angus, Hereford). I doubt very seriously if it is genetic normal genetic issues take lots of half sisters bred to the same bull. Percentages say you would need 20 half sisters all bred to the same bull for this to be a recessive gene issue with 5 deaths. Since it is probably not genetic it should be environmental 2. New pasture or existing? 3. Calving at the same time of year as in years past? 4. Any newly noticeable weeds? 5. Change vaccines or wormers this year? The same friend in the upper cumberland lost a bull to a cherry tree leaves.. Crazy I know. Cookeville is beautiful hang in there.. Find a vet that will work with you. Find a vet and do an autopshy.
