[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 248326, member: 1863"] My neighbor had a brangus cow about 7 years old. He told me many times before that she was crazy and had mental issues but had great calves. I was skeptical until this past week. She went beserk for no apparent reason. Tore up a fence and ran around the pasture in circles in the 100 degree heat. She finally over heated herself and got down. She went and got into the pond and the neighbor thought that she would be ok when she cooled off. She then went into the center of the pasture and laid down and died. :( No one was chasing or harrasing this cow she just flipped out. He said that he had had the vet check her several times when he could catch her and she was always healthy. She was as wild as a deer and always nervous. The question I have is could this be a fluke or genetic? It is wierd because all of her offspring are normal, gentle animals. Has anyone ever seen one snap like this and literaly kill itself? He has a heifer from her that he wants to sell me that looks really great and acts very normal but I am somewhat concerned about buying it in case a problem might skip a generation. [/QUOTE]
