[QUOTE="clampitt, post: 647013, member: 2594"] Cow finally died.Took her to the vet and he autopsied her.That was interesting to see althought Id rather not have had to. Take brain,an eye,kidney,liver,splean,lung,heart,and stomach contents.Send it to OSU to have it tested along with a water sample. He looked at her eye and said this shows signs of salt water toxsisity.Salt will concentrate in the eye as well as does in the brain. It will be good to find out just what has happend.With so many at such a short period of time dieing.And I figure if that is it they can die for a while as a result of drinking that water. Also he said a cow can have fresh water close by but they will for some reason it has to taste good come right back and drink the salt water.Same thing another friend of mine said.They will get addicted to it is all they could think of. Salt does tast good to a degree.Just like some people they have to have salt on everything they eat and too much of it. And then go tank up on water and that causes problems also. I'll let ya know what the reasults and findings are later.You never know it can happen anywhere.And could of and just didnt put it all together. [/QUOTE]
