So, AZ 928, how do you think they died? From the heat?

Pretty common in the cattle industry. Disgusting yes. I honestly wish I was not on the ranch a few times.
On the humorous side of the ranch I learned how to make an entire herd boogie. I don't like getting boxed in by large animals. My friend told me always carry a bottle of water half full. When the cattle close in just shake the crap out of the bottle. We were target shooting and the herd decided the range area was a good place to graze and sit down. I was changing targets and the herd was making me a bit uneasy. Shake the bottle!!! Cows think its a rattlesnake. Its a sight watching 75 cows run and dance all at once.
Good luck with your cows.
