If you have any Top of The Rockies alfalfa cubes in stock for your horses, stop using them right now and contact your supplier. They are contaminated with the bacteria that causes botulism. 100 horses have taken ill and 45 have had to be euthanized.
This is the FDA notice that contains the known contaminated lot numbers:
