But bear in mind, there were 7,000 cattle destroyed in the large fires in Texas recently.
Friend of mine sold calves for $1500 a head recently.
Without getting into too much detail, think processing and distribution. And areas dependent on irrigation infrastructure have point vulnerabilities as well.
That’s what Hamas hit in the Negev. They generally didn’t bother killing the livestock, just the sources of feed and water that sustained them.
Granted, the Negev is more dependent on irrigation than any ag. area in the US, including the Imperial Valley in California, but if you wanted to create bedlam in the US cities, turning out the lights and disrupting food distribution would be a darn good way to go about it.
Not to be black pilled about it, I think that even the big cities in Texas would acquit themselves honorably, but things would certainly be sporty for a while.
