[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 610507, member: 6797"] We get a lot of posts on this board that start out with something like "She was fine yesterday" or "Does anyone know why" or "What could have happened?" I always figured being cast is quite common - especially to a heavy bred or a large cow full of grass or one that lays down and slides into a very shallow depression - it often only needs to be 5 or 6 inches off level from the rest of the ground - almost unnoticeable to the eye. It can, in the worst case scenarios with a really round cow be even less of a depression in the ground. Once they get over on their side it is a short trip to being on their back - then it is often less than 30 minutes until they are dead. Most folks just do not recognize it. But if you look at the ground around them you will see a few scuff marks and there will often be cow schitzen piled up against their backside or along the ground as they turn their body in an attempt to get their feet back under them. So the next time an apparently healthy cow gets down and has dead cow disease take a close look - you might just find she was unlucky the day she laid down for a nap. Bez+ [/QUOTE]
