TOWN OF STOCKTON, Wis. -- An investigation is under way after 200 dead cows were found in a field in the Town of Stockton.

I have to chuckle when I see coworkers with 3 shirts and a coat on when I am toting a single SS shirt.

However, I am a relocated Minnesotan. ; )

This sounds like the End Times omen eschatologists have been waiting for...i.e. the bovine 'Masada' prophesied in the little known pseudepigraphical Apocalypse of Elsie.

Confirming evidence that this is the prophesied 'Moosada' (as it has come to be known in theological circles) might be the presence of signs such as these...

My family raised beef cattle. All drop at once? Sounds more like poisoning to me.

w/o a doubt... you are right.

[EGPWS]

Yeah, it was only 7°F at our place Thursday morning when I left for work. Darn near balmy!

I did notice a "crispness" to the air when I left for work.

I bet the farmer was insured. It might just be the reason why 200 sick cattle dropped dead at the same time.

I can’t imagine the vet bills for 200 sick cows.

[EGPWS]

Keep bragging and I'll have them turn the HAARP transmitter in Puerto Rico back on.

LOL!

[Rebelbase]

Cows are defenseless.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Perhaps some activist poisoned their food to keep the hysteria going. (Like Crop Circle hoaxes.)

If it was a bad vaccine, and they were all vaccinated at the same time, then it would be possible for the cattle to die overnight or over a period of a day.

It wouldn't have to be a 'bad' vaccine. A vaccine gives you the 'disease' in a small dose to cause your system to generate some protection. So, it makes you a 'little' sick. Combine that with a sudden cold snap, and ... it might be possible to wake up to 200 dead cows.

I can survive a long time, out in the cold. But not if I'm sick to begin with.

Any WISCONSIN FARMERS in FREEPDOM who could tell us of their experiences?

[UCANSEE2]

The sky is indeed falling

Yeah, but only on one side of the planet at a time.

[UCANSEE2]

and if they were dairy cows they’d be milking them twice (?) a day.

Heck, it takes half the day just to defrost them.

[UCANSEE2]

The virus can cause respiratory and reproductive problems.

SO.... 200 cows that had pneumonia, out in a sudden cold snap. Never mind the possibility they could no longer reproduce.

Sounds like it was inevitable.

[UCANSEE2]

It’s probably a good thing that wolves are not a normal part of the human food chain.

[RegulatorCountry]

Are you sure this isn’t a parody?

If not, it’s got to be the wackiest WWII poster I’ve ever seen. It combines a Varga Girl with gun porn and, what, condoms? Well, she’s wearing a gas mask, so it’s sheer camo netting? It’s hard to decipher.

[UCANSEE2]

Now it will be litigated at great expense. If agriculture were centralized in large collective farms with communal ownershop of the means of production, then we could avoid the expensive litigation. The farmer and the veterinarian would both be arrested, interrogated until they confessed to their counterrevolutionary wrecking activities, then be shot and the matter closed. Just one of the advantages of collective farming, comrades. Get on the bandwagon! (Comrade Obama is watching, and planning...)

So... were these BLACK cows or WHITE cows?

It’s supposed to be 83F in Los Angeles today. Life is good

“SO.... 200 cows that had pneumonia, out in a sudden cold snap. Never mind the possibility they could no longer reproduce.”

We do not know how many cows were in the field. It might have been 200, or 300 or 500. We only know that they found 200 dead ones. We also do not know how long it was since the cows were checked on. If might have been a day or a week or longer.

It is also possible that the cows died over a longer period, the person who was caring for them knew it, but left them there because of the weather or for other reasons, then someone came to look at the situation, found 200 dead cows in a field, and reported it.

The coldest I have ever been was in Alberta Canada on a deer hunt. It was -20 and not a breath of wind, ice crystals were floating in the air like on a sparkly Christmas card. I was dressed for a south Texas deer hunt, hey it was November, how did I know? I almost died.

[Young Werther]

Now that is a CHEESEY STATEMENT!

AND UTTERLY PREPASTUERIZED!

Sounds like moldy feed or hay.

Moldy hay can cause lung problems really fast, basically they drown.
