must admit im a swede lover,but yes they nedd some polar chills up em to make em tasty!

Yep sweetest after a couple of frosts. I love them fresh out of the dirt, wiped off with Swannie sleeve, and sliced with a rusty blood stained bale string cutting butchers knife. Haha

If you are staining your knife with blood while cutting the twine on hay bales, I would suggest you be more careful...you southislanders are something else again with your culinary delights...eating cattle food...what next?.

So what you're trying to say Spook is the fundamental difference between Nth and Sth Islanders is...

When NIs eat alfalfa and fart they just blow coffee coloured milk everywhere.

However us southerners on brassicas fart buckshot and hazourdous chemicals

I think at the moment the biggest problem the South has is that the newspaper reporters get really fucked up when it comes to stock dying...not long ago it was sheep being shot without leaving cases or projectiles, now it is the difference with metabolic problems and shot pellets. I wonder how many gun clubs the length of the country have ever had a similar problem?, I imagine, very few or the meat and milk industries would not tolerate lead poisoning entering the food chain.

Devils advocate here, can we rule out a genetically engineered frankencrop gone wrong? Does anyone have more info on this commercial variety of swede?

They all seem to have eaten the same strain of swede and have kidney/liver damage. Some research I saw found feeding mice GE food gives them kidney/liver damage amongst other things.

same strain of seed developed by a certain seed supplier. from what i understand the problem is solely with the seed it the first time its been commercially grown and the seed supplier doesn't want a dirty name so is blaming it on the farmers and metabolic issues.

Not going away, more stock affected:

Could this be related to the sheep that were apparently shot and no shell cases found?

Maybe DOC dumped 1080 all over them and now their livers are failing especially after being inundated with opossum and trout carcasses plus GM swedes have given them lead poisoning both from the swede and the Black Ops ninjas who leave no trace or exit wound and the local vet is covering up for Don Brash who is a mates with Nick Smith (who we all know owns the US 1080 factory) and used Crusher Colins foibles as a decoy to poison some mice on the coast in the hope of killing all our deer (cause they're disappearing fast mate) and the guys from Fish and Game are laughing all they way to the bank cause now they have exclusive rights to trout fishing across NZ for free (cause who wants to catch a radioactive trout) and are propping up their other mates (probably John Key) who is crashing the dairy industry with melamine milk (via GM swedes of course) to drive down the dollar and get the FX gains (cause he bought a heap of greenbacks from Obama in Hawaii). Oh and its bound to involve some jews somewhere too.

None of that gives any indication of what the test results showed if they were actually performed

Article in NZ Farmer Sept 29 2014 by veterinary pathologist Dr Mark Collett explains that it was not a unique case...been around 10-20 years...basically a management of stock problem with brassica crops.

Some time after that there was a "spate" of cattle deaths thought to be caused by grazing on beets - nothing to do with lead poisoning. Dunno if the actual cause was ever found but several farmers (and their stock) were affected. Bet the media never corrected the "lead poisoning" story.
