[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 1154969, member: 16769"] I haven't had an update on the Gebbers' cattle losses. Last I heard was several days ago from son-in-law, at 200 head. Dave, have you heard if Washington Cattlemen's is doing anything about hay donations or relief effort? I have not. 7 ton donated hay came out of our valley to Chelan over the weekend, as well as 5-6 ton from Spokane up to Okanogan. They are collecting animals both locations. I'm letting someone else work with the 20+ ton donation that is apparently promised from MT. One of our hay exporters and a family of growers, plus driver found by FFA and fuel donated by a local petroleum co., will haul 15 tons out of here this weekend. Until they actually start re-building (there will be many that had no insurance, as we had w/ Taylor Bridge Fire), the food stuffs, diapers, clothes, pillows, blankets, batteries, etc.) are being pretty well met, I think. It's just not all organized well . . . . the Carlton Complex fires cover a couple of counties and lots of miles N to S. Getting donations organized from the S end of the fire to the N end is an issue. Those of us helping from the outside just hope all the organizations involved top to bottom are playing well in the sand-box. [/QUOTE]
