Kalmbach Feeds Civil Suit?

[QUOTE=fordtraktor;8810734]
As a lawyer, not necessarily. There are several explanations/reasons why the prosecution either had to redact or was only given redacted documents. You can’t make assumptions about this without knowing a lot more about the suit than I have seen. And by that, I mean assumptions either way. “Wait and see” is a good adage for a reason. More facts are needed.[/QUOTE]

True but the fact that the lawyers let the suit get filed with a date in the future on it multiple times just says a lot about the legal team at work IMHO. After seeing that, I have real doubt in anything they do and say. Good thing I’m not on the jury or even possibly on the jury because you’d lose my vote on that alone.

P.S. Ionophores are antibiotics.

I’m sorry but as a DVM some people are overreacting. If it was ionophores that killed the farms horses then there would be more farms involved as I doubt that farm bought the whole lot of food.

Really, ionophore poisoning equals a dead horse, so if any survived then I doubt it was ionophore toxicity…

Amen to this. Exactly … It just doesn’t make any logical sense that only this farm and these horses were affected by an entire production line / run of feed. It just doesn’t … :no: Not with ionophores

I don’t know the plaintiffs from Adam. I dont know a thing about them or what animals they do or don’t have on their farm or did or didn’t have on their farm at the time these horses fell ill. Has anyone asked or found out if any cattle were on their farm at the time or any other animal that could have had rumensin feed fed to them? Any sheep or chickens? Swine?

My understanding is that there are many “medicated” feeds that do not contain ionophores, but antibiotics such as tetracycline instead. If a tetracycline based “medicated” feed went down the line ahead of my bag of horse feed and the hoppers were cleaned out prior to that happening, I wouldnt lose a minute’s sleep over it. I just wouldn’t …

But - of course - none of us work at Kalmbach so none of us know for 100% sure and none of us know or are the Plaintiff (I don’t think) so have no idea if any cross contamination could have possibly occurred at the farm level after the actual production and purchase either …

Because they don’t want anyone to know what medication was discovered. On there site they claim they run two different lines one for medicated one for none medicated. So if that’s the case why are they running horse feed ,though the medicated line?? If they did that then guess, they gotta cover their butts if horses were poisoned. And feed mill i got feed from says if rumensin is added that is considered medicated feed.[/QUOTE]

Understand, Kalmbach is NOT the one who redacted the FDA report.

Well, I learned something from this thread and I will be very interested to see how things turn out in this situation.

WNT said ‘I remember the aftermath of the incident IronwoodFarm referred to, and know a lot of people who won’t touch that feed company with a ten-foot pole.’

and I would appreciate it if either WNT or Ironwood would PM me (or post here) which company was the one involved in that issue. Thanks in advance.
