Farmer used Affinity with Roundup, had 40 heifers in area and they have been grazing off/on since spraying. Few days later he found a couple of heifers had died. Confirmed that product was applied per directions. Cattle had not been grazing in area for over a week and would have been okay in the field, however, the cattle that had dies had been in the field of Clover.
