Beef prices are going to get even higher. 10,000+ cattle in a Kansas feedlot die of heat stress

[TerryMiller]

I'm not going to watch 35 minutes of video to find out the answer to this question, but is this the same place in Kansas where it was reported in another thread that 10,000 had died? That other thread (linked below) had comments by members that the cattle's feed might have been mixed incorrectly with something that killed them. I've seen cattle suffer worse heat and not die off.

Beef prices are going to get even higher.

My relatives live on farms in Kansas and Oklahoma.

This fellow is giving a reasonable explanation. A heat burst.

I'm calling BS on the heat.

Guy makes some good and valid points, one of the few I’ve seen that address actual natural possibilities and are not automatically jumping to conclusions.

My BS on the heat comment was supposed to be deleted. It apparently wasn't. That comment was written before I did more research. I guess SAVE doesn't save?

I'll try it again.

I can't honestly think of any cattle around here that I've heard of that were lost due to heat. Cold, lightening yes many times. It's this temperature every year around this time, and those feed lots aren't new.

10,000+ cattle in a Kansas feedlot die of heat stress.

Heat Stress Kills Estimated 10,000 Head of Kansas Feedlot Cattle

The numbers are still coming in, but early estimates set the number of cattle lost to heat in Kansas feedlots this week at an estimated 10,000 head.

I'm sorry, I started another thread today about this. I did a search first for Kansas and cattle but turned up nothing so I posted my thread.

This site's search engine sucks!
