Two others appeared brain dead and were put down by the manager. All the cows killed were expecting calves, and most of the animals were show cows. The estimated loss was about $50,000- 60,000. Because the cows would be expected to deliver a calf a year for 10-12 years, the loss actually amounts to more than $500,000 over a 10-year period.
