Last week wildfires spread across 4 states: Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado
- At least 7 deaths are attributed to the fires. Including 3 ranch hands that succumbed to smoke and fire when trying to rescue their cattle on horseback.
- Over 1 million acres lost across the four states including 30,000 acres in Colorado.
- Thousands of Cattle are dead and those that survived are facing a major grazing crisis.
- With the burned grazing land and the Spring growing season not yet begun, there is a vital need for hay to feed the remaining cattle.
