HUNDREDS OF HEAD DIED

  John Yoakam, who was in from his ranch on the Marshfield highway last 
Saturday, was talking about the hundreds of sheep and cattle and some horses 
which have died this spring as the result of eating the grass which was frozen 
last December. He said that a horse which was cut open after it died near his 
place, was found to have its intestines so impacted that death was the only 
possible result. It is evident that the freezing created a poison of some sort 
that was fatal to many animals. And the shortage of feed this spring caused 
many sheep and cows to be turned on to the grass before the new growth was 
ready.
