Wonder what they were being fed? This is much more common than anyone realizes. One example from 2019:
Jan 16, 2019 POLK COUNTY, Fla. — Dozens of cattle deaths have sparked a state-wide investigation.
A Polk County man believes his cow was one of the first to die after eating Producer’s Pride cubed feed by Purina.
“We had 9 before this occurred,” Gary York says. On New Year’s Eve he fed three of his cattle the Producer’s Pride.
The farmer, who likes to raise cattle for enjoyment, says he noticed the bag seemed harder than usual but says he didn’t pay much more attention to it other than that.
But after a few hours he noticed three of his animals weren’t acting right.
“I noticed our cattle were staggering around as if they were intoxicated,” York said.
A cow, which had just given birth 8 days, had eaten the most out of all the cattle. https://archive.ph/wip/WswHB
The 1,500 hundred pound animal went down and wouldn’t get up. https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/region-polk/cattle-deaths-could-be-linked-to-potential-toxic-feed
NESTLE owns Purina, one of the few animal “feeds” not owned by MARS (which is just as bad & toxic).
