CABOT - The wife of a farmer whose cows were found dead or reportedly 
starving says the herd was actually suffering from a fatal virus. 
Vermont State Police Sgt. Walter Smith, in an interview Sunday, said the 
approximately 75 Holsteins shipped for slaughter or resale Saturday morning from 
the Route 215 Christian deNeergaard farm had food and water available to them. 
Eleven cows were dead at the farm Saturday morning when cattle company CC 
Miller Corp. of Morristown picked up the animals, however, and an employee of the 
company said the conditions were the worst he's ever seen.
