[QUOTE="jwggriff, post: 897593, member: 5356"] I have a small herd of registered Texas Longhorn Cattle. Went out two days ago and found one cow down, struggling to get up. She appeared slightly bloated. We attempted to get her up on her sternum but she died while we were working with her. She was a 7 year old bred cow. Came out this morning and found a 5 year old bred cow dead. I saw her last night at the hay ring feeding. She was laying next to it when I found her this morning. Called the vet out and he performed a necropsy (sp) on her. He did not see anything unusual during the exam, and took several samples to send to A & M for testing. Both of these cows were down on their weight, but not in bad shape. They have been eating the same hay for the last couple of months, and everyone has been eating fine. The vet suggest Lepto may be the cause but after reading about it I'm not so sure. Anyone have experience like this? [/QUOTE]
