"Cattle Feed Lot Receives Overwhelming Support as High Temperatures Pose Threat to Millions of Cows"
The extreme heat in Muscotah, Kansas, has caused the death of several cows at Handke Cattle feed lot. In response, local volunteer fire departments and farmers have come together to provide truckloads of water to help cool down the remaining cattle. The community has rallied together, with volunteers taking time off work to assist in keeping the animals cool. The exact number of cattle deaths is unknown, but the Kansas Livestock Association estimates that a couple hundred deaths could result in a significant financial loss.
