    I think you a knob to. Trade me message boards is the place for you. They love that shit over there. If I needed or wanted lessons in or on English I would have paid more attention when at school.

    To be fair to the media I heard it on National Radio and they had most of it straight - 20ish cows dead, first time on beets but had previously grazed the same area ok with different crop, etc

    Good to hear from a local and get the confirmation tho

    I always go with the ABCs with everything I do, including reading the news.

    Assume nothing
    Believe nobody

    Maybe they were shot... And no bullets or cases found.
    Perhaps this story is closer to the truth and they did die of lead poisoning.... Just delivered in a different way...
    Or 1080...
    Or aliens...
    Or (hopefully) Zombies!!!!

    they did die off lead poisoning but they're thinking its more to do with shot being in the bulb and them eating some of it in dirt too.

    It takes very little lead to kill a cow. I have known of the death of calves being blamed on them licking the battery terminals of an old battery left behind the shed. I killed several calves by shooting a shotgun at the sparrows hanging around the meal feeders...expensive lesson that was.
