[QUOTE="Big D, post: 82453, member: 1214"] I would suspect they are simply bloating, likely the pasture is rather lush and growing rapidly. This time of year, it is common for us to have problems as the wheat pasture is growing rapidly. I lost three a few weeks ago. I keep a non-ionic surfactant in the drinking water. This usally helps tremendously. A couple of weeks ago we got an inch or so of rain which filled some water holes. I believe most of the cattle were drinking from these instead of thier tank and therefore they were not consuming the surfactant. However, if bloat can be ruled out as the cause, Then who knows, as any time an animal dies sooner or later it will bloat up. [/QUOTE]
