On a Tuesday morning in early December, one of Pete Sprinkle's farmhands phoned him to say he'd found a puddle of blood on the edge of their Botetourt County farm. The farmhand stayed on the line as he drove up the road and discovered a 1,600-pound cow, shot and half-butchered.
It was a shock," said Sprinkle, owner of the Flowing Spring dairy farm near Buchanan.

CHINO - Excessive muck in dairies, caused by higher-than-normal rainfall over the past month, has tripled the death rate of mature dairy cows in San Bernardino and Riverside counties, according to local dairy officials.
The mortality rate since January's heavy rains has averaged more than 100 mature stock per day, a huge jump from the average 35 mature stock that typically die each day on the area's 250 dairy farms, said Bob Feenstra, executive director of the Chino-based Milk Producers Council.
