We had two full grown adult cows and one calf start coughing Sunday afternoon and yesterday they were almost dead. Come to find out we had perilla mint growing in the fields. It gets in their lungs and basically gives them pneumonia like symptoms and kills them within a couple days. Had to go the vet at 10 pm last night to get some sort of steroid shot for them. Supposedly if they make it 48 hours they recover usually.

Here's a couple links on it. The worst time for it is right late summer to now when it's wilting.
