style="color: #000080">Hurricane Harvey &#8211; Livestock In Crisis</span></h2><p>This story is not a commentary or editorial, but a way to feature animals during natural disasters and the urgency to save them. It is to spotlight those who are on the front lines rescuing them. Included in the story are organizations to contact for those who would like to help.</p><p>When it comes for natural disasters  many farmers are left scrambling. Livestock is not easy to transport on a moment&#8217;s notice. Due to their size and herd numbers most are left behind until rescues effort can be organized. There has been no shortage of rescuers and cowboys that have come to their rescue.</p><p>It will be weeks before the toll on livestock will be known. Many thus far have been rescued and hopefully more will be. Those are the lucky ones. No doubt the death count could be great in areas not easy to access or where flood waters were the deepest. Even in the midst of hope dire consequences are inevitable.</p><h2><span
style="color: #000080">LIVESTOCK &#8211; CATTLE</span></h2><p>It has been estimated there are approximately 1.2 million beef cows grazing in 54 Texas counties. Full size cows stand between 51 – 59 inches. Full size bulls stand between 54 – 62 inches. Dairy cows weigh between 800-1500 pounds. Bulls weigh between 1,700 and 2,300 pounds.</p><p>Cattle are large and many herds are numerous. There is no way a rancher has the ability or time to attempt to relocate them in the midst of a raging flood. The farmer needs to focus on evacuation while keeping hope that livestock will remain safe. Cows in open pastures are pretty resourceful at finding higher ground if it can be found.</p><p>Rescue groups wasted no time coming to the rescue. Cowboys rounded up cattle by horse and by airboat. Rescuers have meticulously surveyed the area saving livestock as they were discovered. It was like a scene out of a wild west move.</p><p><a

style="color: #000080">RESCUE GROUPS</span></h2><p>Those who would like to help, but are unable to be there can still help fund rescue efforts. Always check the credibility of any organization before sending money or donations. During a crisis there is never a shortage of scam artists. Make sure you heart is reaching out to reliable charities.</p><p>You might want to call them first to see what their greatest need is. Those who live in the area can check for volunteer opportunities. Some organizations might need volunteers, some might need food and supplies for their volunteers, others could use donations such as hay and feed and many will need financial donations to be used in their rescue efforts.</p><h4>Humane Society of North Texas, Fort Worth, TX, <span
