[QUOTE="clampitt, post: 648881, member: 2594"] Vet called today and test comfirmed Salt toxisisty in the water and in cows brain. Salt content in water 100,000 ppmil.Safe for livestock is 6,000ppmil so pretty toxic. And since the ground is contaminated salt like this doesnt go out of the ground for years.They the oil co will have to clean it up.If it rains and runs off they get in it back to where you are now. Any one of you that have land that has even old leases on them.The salt can still be in the ground and when it rains or they lick the ground.They wont lick dirt a lot but will drink the water if it puddles up after a rain or run off. Even if its been years since any production has been there they the cattle die from salt toxisisty. If you have had cattle that did poorly or did die kind of out of the blue for no real reason and looked wormy and just didnt do good check around the old tank batteries and where there might of been a salt scar on the land.The salt is still there. Its sure worth looking into and keeping an eye on them.You might have yours checked when they die to see and have a case against the producer. [/QUOTE]
