[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 946350, member: 5381"] I lost one two years ago about this time of the year. It was three weeks after a moderate rain. She got out in the driveway, ate some bad grass, sat down and died in about 10 minutes. One other old Brahma cross cow was with her and got sick but it didn't kill her. She was also down so I called the vet. He knew immediately what it was and told me if she was still alive she would be OK. I didn't want to take a chance so he came out after about a hour later and gave her a shot of Sodium Nitrate. She was up in about 10 minutes but never seemed quite the same. I couldn't seem to keep weight on her after this episode. She bred back and calved on time the next year. I weaned this calf early and gave her a couple months to fatten up but she still only weighed 900 when she was sold. I would be careful with it even if your tests say it is all right. The vet told me he had see cases where just a few stalks in a 100 acre field will be toxic but one cow will find them and drop like a rock. Good luck [/QUOTE]
