[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1072614, member: 12607"] Doesn't take much of a dip or slope to end up with a dead cow, if they get cast with their feet uphill. Have seen it too many times to mention. Folks wouldn't think it, but it happens with some frequency. Have a dairy acquaintance in OH who related how he, his father, and grandfather had been calving cows in a lot close to the barn for 50+ years, that had a little swale in it, and every night before bed, they'd check cows, always walking to the top of that little hump and looking at the other side of the slope; the ONE night that he didn't walk to the top of that little hump and look over it, a cow got cast, bloated and died. Sounds like you need a little more fill in that spot. [/QUOTE]
