[QUOTE="farmwife, post: 581491, member: 4247"] Just in case anyone would like to help those affected by Hurrican Ike. I'm sure there is an assistance program in LA too, but I'm not aware of it. This article ran in one of the local papers this weekend...... Livestock also affected by Ike Eddie Baggs: Livestock also affected by Ike 03:03 PM CDT on Saturday, September 20, 2008 Eddie Baggs When Hurricane Ike passed through Chambers and Jefferson counties, it also took fences with it. Leaving an estimated 20,000 head of displaced cattle and horses. Those animals that survived the storm and floodwaters are now searching for fresh water and forage. Most of the fresh water sources were taken over by seawater as a result of swells that reached 20 feet. Bales of hay are now being set alongside some farm-to-market roads in those counties where livestock are known to be roaming and searching for food. Relief efforts are being coordinated by many state and local agencies as part of the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Governor’s Division of Emergency Management. But, there is a great need for hay, water troughs, feed stocks such as range cubes, and cash contributions to help keep these animals alive. Contact sites have been established for those who can help. To make a tax-deductible cash or credit card donation, please call 979-845-2604 or visit [url=http://agrilifeevents.tamu.edu]http://agrilifeevents.tamu.edu[/url] and follow the prompts to “No Fences” Hurricane Ike Horse and Cattle Relief. To make a donation of hay, feed, water troughs, transportation or other in-kind donations, call the Texas Department of Agriculture’s Hay Hotline at 877-429-1998 or 1-800-835-5832 and press zero.
