SlowLoris what do you think could be causing the dairy cows to bleed? I noticed this academic paper mentions "Soluble Protein" is one aspect that the veterinary scientists have looked at.
Soluble Protein points to what they're fed to me.
Has there been any major feed changes with Dairy Cows that you know of?

I have never heard of it before. They speculate that it could be caused by a bacteria or fungus in the feed.
My guess would be a chemical sprayed on the hay field to kill broad leaf plants before baling the hay, or chemicals sprayed on the grain fields for the same reason. Most of our animal feed and the land it is grown on is contaminated by these chemicals.
Except from the link:
Hemorrhagic Bowel Syndrome (HBS) is a newly emerging, highly fatal intestinal disease of adult dairy cows in the United States. This disease has also been called Jejunal Hemorrhage Syndrome, bloody gut, or clostridial enteritis. The disease is seen most commonly in adult dairy cows early in lactation, although cases occasionally occur in late lactation or the dry period.
The feces of affected cows is dark, tar-like, and may contain dark red to black clots of digested blood. As clots form in the affected segments of the intestine, the intestine may become obstructed, causing some cows to become bloated and show signs of colic. The affected segments of intestine quickly die and will occasionally rupture, resulting in invariably fatal peritonitis.

Thank you @
SlowLoris, I've found a prophecy in the Psalms that mentions the "enemies", "blood" and "dogs tongues licking the blood".
Psalm 68:23
"That your foot may shatter them in blood. The tongue of your dog may have its portion from your enemies".

Relationship between hemorrhagic bowel syndrome and Clostridium perfringens type A a toxin
I have never heard of this condition Eliakim. Doesn't sound good.

The Chicken Coop is Still Standing
Our beloved eight layers and a rooster survived a chainsaw massacre today. Had a local muchacho with a couple chainsaws and helpers cut and trim a lot of the trees around the house, some overhanging the roof and others blocking valuable solar power.
Replete with climbing boot spikes, he went up the trees, saw idling down below, then hoisted it up with his rope and trimmed branches, some a foot in diameter. One scraped the metal roofing of the coop but just bent it down and the frame held up. Two hens were still sitting in their nesting boxes through the whole thing.
He was an artist. Lots of clean-up now. Got more laurel which I'll save.
So eight layers and one rooster left. My wife "processed" the other two cocks and I insist we keep one around. He's so big, I call him "Fat Albert." The layers are prolific! Each morning we get between five and nine eggs on average. Giving some to my yard worker and neighbors.
I hope this keeps up! Marko (my dog) keeps them in check, herding them if they walk off into the bush and the neighbors yards. When they come up on the house porch, I like to sit on the steps and talk to them. THEN he'll chase them off HIS territory.
Funny how ANIMALS know their borders, eh?
My neighbor has several roosters, one game cock has begun to mosey over to my yard and flirt with the hens. The Great Pyrenees, Samson, chases him off. Samson doesn't chase any of my poultry, but the intruder gets a good lesson in boundaries. Yesterday I put the 2 month old turkeys in an outdoor coop. Samson was right there wanting to sniff butts. Imprinting on each member of his "flock."
Hello all you fowl experts @
SlowLoris, @
DaJavoo et al. Help me save our rooster.
Two of our eight layers have become broody and won't leave their nesting boxes, egg production is down.
My wife blames "Fat Albert" our only rooster for molesting the hens and stressing them. She wants to put him in the freezer. Other chicken forums say it's not the rooster to blame, but hormones.
Any experience with brooding hens out here?
