[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 121907, member: 1049"] That is what is meant by "preparedness." When you have early notification that a hurricane will hit you within 4 days, you start moving your livestock THEN--according to your already prepared personal disaster plan. When I lived in Florida we moved our 300+ head out of Gulf Hammock inland to Bronson or Alachua. I made 20 trips with our 36 foot trailer and we borrowed other trailers from inland friends. We had made prearranged plans to do mutual aid for each other--both for livestock and families of employees. Our cattle lived, our neighbors cattle did not. The neighbors had the same opportunity, time frame and resources that we did. They even had many more family and employees/friends and vehicles to assist in the moving of their cattle. Instead they did nothing and lost everything. Then they complained for the next 2 years how they had no help, no time and that the "goverment should of done something." Sounds alot like the present situation in New Orleans. Stupidity and lazyness is fatal. [/QUOTE]
