Remarkable Mexican Story Of Rubber Cows From Guayule Diet
Mexico City The Mexican Herald reports a bizarre tale of cows fed guayule causing rubbery hooves and jumping behavior. The account, told by rancher Pedro Mores of Mosquiz, details cows bouncing across fields, rubbery tails, failed milking, and a failed sulfur cure that left them stiff and unable to walk. The anecdote mocks prior reports of goats getting drunk on marijuana and the broader idea of medicinal plant diets affecting livestock.
