There’s also a podcast episode discussing the same topic

>> Excellent info from someone who knows cattle
It’s just one report. Selling it doesn’t improve its veracity.
Sounds like all cattle and no hat, for a welcome change.

Meanwhile, beef prices reach the stratosphere...not that the 10,000 dead would have made any difference...
Wow, I was not going to read the article and was just going to post, ‘Let me guess, I bet the writer will say This is normal, nothing to see here.’ But for some reason decided to actually open the article first and in the first few sentences the phrase ‘This is normal’ is right there!
This is why I have stopped reading the crap aricles posted on this site. It is all so predictable.
I don't want to get all crunchy-granola here, but THIS is EXACTLY why I endeavor to get my meat directly from independent farmers. I have no problem with God's Will of man being at the top of the food chain, and agribusiness is preferable to state socialism. But the grain diet, and chemical releases in the animal from stress has got to result in grade C meat. And while PETA is a borderline terrorist organization, I don't have to subsidize this sort of harvesting operation.
Going further, the degradation of the food chain has likely spawned a great many food allergies in children and even adults. We NEVER had a problem with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches 30 years ago - now if the peanuts don't kill 5% of the kids, the gluten will mess up a bigly number of the remainder. Welcome to the intersection of separating farming from the consumer and drugging the citizenry.
During the pandemic when store shelves grew bare, many Americans started frequenting their local farmers. They were able to secure quarter to half cows and other meats and goodies direct from these backbones of civilization. For many Americans, it was eye-opening. For those of us who'd been doing this for a while, it was (dare I say) rewarding and affirming. My farmer said many of these noobs went back to the stores, but many remained as loyal customers.
Big Pharma and Big Cattle have themselves at the top of the food chain, not me. I've "met" my dinner, and seen what it's life is like. I sleep better and, hopefully, get a few more years on Earth. I pay more, but eating these fattened animals doesn't seem in line with God's plan...or a healthy lifestyle.
Did they not have water? Couple of days without water would do it.
Were they a breed more fit for cool weather that maybe should have been sent to a feed lot further North?
It wasn’t that hot for that long. Texas Longhorn have to walk all day with no shade in extreme heat because the forage is so thin but they can handle that. Other breeds? Not so much.
You would think some reporter could find the feed lot owner and interview them to get the answer.
Veterinarians work to quash misinformation about SW Kansas cattle deaths
It’s funny; when you actually know something about a subject the media is pressing, you see how poorly the story has been researched and how many misunderstandings are in it.
Unfortunately, too few of us know about all the stories out there....
very helpful and comforting.
I watched a YouTube video from a guy out there who basically said the same thing. Its not a conspiracy.
When government/media tells you they know the cause then you know for a fact that what they are saying is a partial truth if that factor was involved in the situation at all.
If you are actually interested in the subject then THOUSANDS OF CATTLE SUSPICIOUSLY DIE in Kansas Heat Wave. | WHAT HAPPENED? is a video that goes into many of the theories and why it wasnt likely to be "just heat" and many of the other theories cant explain it as lone causes.
10,000 dead yesterday is a non-event, how government spins this tomorrow is where your focus should be.
“In the former United States,” what is that supposed to mean?
Apologies for misspelling Ann’s last name!
