100,000 cattle dead
It seems no one has reported this story, but the ranchers in South Dakota have been hit really hard with a winter storm. I am looking for a charity that will directly help the ranchers.

I saw this in the news as well. It is pretty sad that the weather man did not give anyone warning of such a big blizzard so early in the season. Open grazing is a gamble.

Actually it has been discussed--see "Is Iggy Frozen?"
Truly catastrophic, and more proof of the hazards of ranching and farming.

Better head to the market and pick up some beef before it goes up.

Oh goody, let's have another panic.
From what I read there are no firm numbers on how many are dead versus how many are AWOL. Seems the snow got so high some cattle simply walked over the fences into the wild blue yonder and have yet to be found.
