After the deaths of as many as 70 horses, the owner of an Oklahoma rodeo company blames tainted feed

Rhett Beutler, the co-owner of a nearly century-old Oklahoma company that supplies stock for rodeos, says he suspects tainted feed is to blame after as many as 70 horses died a week ago. 

Beutler, co-owner of Beutler and Son Rodeo Co. near Elk City, told KFOR-TV that the horses died shortly after being fed.

"We didn't know what was going on, we just got the feed and started feeding it like always," Beutler told KFOR-TV. "Then all of a sudden looked up and there was horses just falling over, dying."
