-Caveat Lector- Did you hear the theory that the weather is possibly responsible? Remember a while back when I was complaining so because we had a week of very warm weather followed by snow? Here it reached 90 degrees in, I believe it was, February or early March. Three weeks later, we had a 3 inch snow. Lots of things bloomed and I had a fig orchard actually have fruit set. Next thing, a really wet snow more like slush followed by a killing frost and a week of subfreezing temperatures. All my fig trees died for the fruit rotted after being frozen then thawing. The weather theory goes that this created a fungus overgrowth in the grasses and hay and that is what caused the deaths of the foals. Does not make much sense for they did not die here or other areas. I will keep asking as some of the neighbors receive trade journals and there maybe news forthcoming. Some of the foals in Kentucky are quite valuable ($100,000+ easily) in addition to the loss of the animal itself. Perhaps big money will keep the pressure on to find out what is going on before it happens again or spreads. ~Amelia~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Prudence L.

I'm traveling and missing a lot of news, but I keep imagining the looming shadow of Monsanto behind the mare/foal deaths.
