"Devastating Texas Wildfires Leave Ranchers Reeling and Communities Struggling"

Historic wildfires in the Texas Panhandle have killed thousands of cattle, devastating the largest cattle region in the nation and causing widespread damage to homes and property. The Smokehouse Creek fire, the largest wildfire in state history, has burned over 1 million acres of land, impacting the livelihoods of local ranchers and farmers. The mass deaths of livestock are expected to double or triple in the coming days, and the recovery effort will be prolonged, with many facing the loss of their businesses and family heirlooms.
