Seems The Entire Beef Cattle Industry Just Got Wiped Out

Many cattle’s hooves have been burned and many more will need to be put down, what an amazing “coincidence” this happened to the beef industry…

What Are The Odds?

“Breaking news out of Texas. Uh, we just received an update from our Texas agricultural commissioner, Sid Miller, and I'm gonna play that video, uh, right after this. But a few things that I just took away that are very, very, very important for folks to understand across the country. Now this fire in Texas is now the largest in Texas state history, and we knew that, uh, about 3 days ago when that hit over a million acres. They're now at a million and a half acres.

They have a 120 miles of power lines down. So the grid up in that part of the country is completely down right now. No grid, no water. Uh, the majority of these farmers and ranchers depend on well water, and, additionally, uh, there's no grass. There's no prairie land up there for, uh, the cattle to graze on, and there's been a bunch of feed and feedlots that have burned out too.

The largest fire we've ever had in Texas is the largest fire we've ever had in the United States. It's almost at 2,000 square miles, uh, a 1,000,000 and a half-half acres. Uh, preliminary reports, 3,000 head of cattle. That number would triple or quadruple before it's over, especially when we start euthanizing the cattle that have, uh, had their hooves burnt or their other others burnt. We're gonna have to, you know, put a lot of these animals down.

It's a sad situation. Uh, we've had over 500 houses and barns destroyed, and that number content continues to climb. We've had 2 fatalities. Thank goodness it's only 2. Uh, but we also have 5 firefighters that have been injured.

Uh, we've got over a 120 miles, Sandra, of power lines that are down. Now this country is sparsely populated and very arid, so there's not a lot of stock water. Most of the water comes from wells. So not only is this livestock out of grass, but there's also no water. So it's a very desperate situation.”
