Seventeen Cattle Mysteriously Die at Gilmer Ranch (Texas)

They found numerous others dead or dying , and at the end of the day 17 were dead... With no visible marks as to what killed them.. All of the animals they found were near a new oil rig that was being worked on their property.
"Well I'm trying to find out what happened , because if it's illness or disease on the place , but it doesn't seem like it if all of them died in a short period of time" says Blasengame. The only clue for Blasengame when he found his dead cattle was a mysterious jelly on the ground that surrounded the wellhead site.
An area Ag-extension agent told us that a clear jelly-like fungus sometimes oozes out of the ground in spring , but it isn't deadly. A local vet service examined the cows but couldn't determine a cause of death. Meanwhile more animals have turned up dead, a family dog and a squirrel appearing to die from the same thing.
Oh brother, that is NOT good. Let's keep an eye on that.
Well thats really weird.
This is getting very frightening. I wonder what was in that "jelly"- near the well head. Sounds to me like those poor animals were poisoned.
