Idaho Supreme Court To Hear Case Of 100 Dead Calves

The Idaho Supreme Court will hear arguments in several cases this week, including an appeal in a lawsuit over the death of 100 dairy calves.

The lawsuit was brought in Twin Falls County by Jesus Hurtado and John Reitsma, who claimed that the Land O’Lakes milk replacer they used to feed their calves was defective and caused the death of over 100 of the animals. The jury found in their favor and awarded damages, but now Land O’Lakes is appealing. Land O’Lakes contends that the lower court improperly allowed expert testimony and that the plaintiffs failed to prove their damages and that the company had any liability.

The high court will hear the case on Wednesday.
