All I know is about 4 or 5 years ago, we had lightening kill one cow, found her laying by a tree, with burn marks, and the tree had been struck. Took photos, and turned it all in. got a check for around $1000 for her.

The trouble with branding here in KY is the salebarns don't check, so if they hauled them to another part of the state and sold the next day I doubt they would get caught.inyati13":2ru0s43z said:I worry about lightning. I would like to freeze brand. In regard to insurance, I talked to my State Farm agent and there were so many loopholes in the coverage, it seemed like fool's gold. You may buy some peace of mind but when you file a claim, you are likely to be disappointed.
