[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1827512, member: 43196"] Looking up Bermuda grass toxicity........The grass itself is not toxic. However, there is/are a couple of funguses that thrive in high heat and humidity that I found that could be suspect. The livestock effected was listed as horses, but your conditions were unusual and seem they may have been the right combination for a disaster that you weren't aware of. I'm thinking of cases several years back in KY. Many horses were aborting but no one could figure it out. There were black cherry trees present, but the horses absolutely were not eating them. There was a serious bagworm population explosion on the black cherry trees that year. The bagworms were consuming the black cherry, pooping on the ground (grasses) which the horses ate, and the horses were being poisoned by the black cherry that way, and aborting. [/QUOTE]
