[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1017148, member: 18809"] Johnson grass will kill them. The poisonous constituent of Johnsongrass is cyanide, a most lethal toxin that can kill a fully grown cow in an hour if enough forage is consumed. Johnsongrass tends to produce cyanide whenever it is stressed as by drought, insect infestation or frost. If Johnsongrass is cut at the proper stage and cured correctly, it can be safely used for hay. We had several instances of cows dying last summer in south west missouri, from feeds that are normally fine. One guy lost most of his herd when he moved them to a new pasture. [/QUOTE]
