200 Cows Die in Portage County

[Mendoza Line]

Investigators are working to determine what caused the death of 200 cows in Portage County.

Reporter: Jennifer Kliese

The 200 dead cattle were discovered on a farm field on 4th street in Amherst. Today, the bodies were taken out in semi-loads to be disposed of.

The Portage County Sheriff's Department says the animals died of a virus that causes respiratory and reproductive problems.

The owner has been working with a veterinarian, who couldn't be reached for comment today. Samples from the dead animals have been sent to Madison for testing.

Investigators say there is no threat to people or other animals. The Portage County Humane Society is investigating the cow deaths.

What if the end is really nearing?

Sure they will be making an official statement with some lame ass excuse: "Fireworks from New Years Eve celebrations scared the cows and their butts closed like a vice--died from not being able to crap for 2 weeks" or some bs like that.
