That's fuckin wild. I'm not a feedlot guy but I've never heard of mass death like that from hot weather. Cattle do tend to get sick if there's a big sudden change in temperature but that is bananas.this state is so dumb
Days of intense heat have killed thousands of cattle in Kansas
Temperatures topped 104 degrees in the state's top cattle county. In widely seen video footage, rows of carcasses are shown lined up along the edge of a field.www.npr.org
BrutulTM they couldn't spray some water or some shit on these lost ribeyes before they decided to die
Bovid-19.Someone else posted that the other day with a story saying the farmers don't think they were heat deaths.
can you even use their hides like that? or do you just bury em or burn em?Sudden changes can definitely get them. Probably 10 years ago there was an early fall blizzard in South Dakota called the Atlas Blizzard which hit on October 3rd and killed 7500+ cattle even though South Dakota cattle generally spend the entire winter outdoors. Normally you would only lose newborn calves in a blizzard like that but because it was so early the cows were not acclimated to cold weather and didn't have their winter coats grown yet.
I don't know. I suspect that the hide isn't worth the effort it would take to skin them if that's all you get.can you even use their hides like that? or do you just bury em or burn em?
This one is pure Cthulhu by Gaslight...Cthulhu is coming.
