Sempronius buffalo farmer Peter Head has lost 55 animals to a mysterious illness since October, but autopsies have shown no clear cause of death.
"We're going nuts down here trying to figure out what's going on," he said. "This is going to put me out of business. That's half my frickin' herd."
"In my career, I don't remember anything quite like this," Podolak said. "There's die-offs, but usually they can determine what it is right away and treat them. ... I just wish there was something more we could do to help Pete. This is a catastrophic loss for him."

You know,it reminds me of the movie Close Encounters Of The Third Kind,you know when Richard Dreyfus was heading towards Devils peak or something like that,when they were deterred from going any further by all the believed what was dead animals that were actually poisoned by the government with gas.

Wait...what? A Cattle farm in New York? Never heard of such a thing maybe that's why they died. It's damn cold up there!

the deaths have been since October and not like the other die offs which occur in hours, when we start grouping all deaths in the same catagory, we lose credability.
I have no idea why the buffalo have died, it may be somewhat related, but until then we should keep them seperate.

There's a bunch of cattle around me here in sw Iowa,and the temps here get quite brutal in Jan and Feb. Cattle can handle freezing temps without much shelter too. I will be the first to let anyone here know if cattle start dying off around here,i can promise you that.
