Last night, went to feed the cows still out in the pasture their hay. I noticed that my best cow was not with the rest of the herd. She is never one to miss a meal and I thought that it was funny she was not with the other cows. But, sometimes one or two might go off by themselves so I just thought maybe she was off by herself. This morning when we went over to feed hay again, she was still not with the rest of the cows and I knew something had to be wrong. We drove around the field and around the woods and didn't see her. As soon as we looked down a hill in the next field over, there she was....dead. She was laying right in between two trees that had little red berries. It looked as if she had just collapsed right there. We assume that the berries poisoned her. She always loved to eat leaves off of trees. She was my best shorthorn cow. It seems like things always have to happen to the best ones! The rest of the cows have been locked out of that pasture so they do not end up that way also.
Has anyone else lost any from being poisoned?
