CATTLE GROUPS ESTABLISH DISASTER RELIEF FUND
For Immediate Release March 16, 2006
For Information: Burt Rutherford, TCFA (800) 299-8232
Matt Brockman, TSCRA (800) 242-7820
Keith Chapman, LMA of Texas (512) 863-7005
The Texas Cattle Feeders Association (TCFA), the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) and the Livestock Marketing Association of Texas (LMA) have established the Cattlemens Disaster Relief Fund. The fund, established at the Amarillo Area Foundation, will assist cattlemen affected by wildfires in the Texas Panhandle, as well as similar disasters in other areas of Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
Even as fires continue to burn, cattle producers are dealing with dead and displaced cattle, destroyed fences and buildings and the loss of their land and livelihood. Estimates are that upwards of 1 million acres have burned and thousands of cattle and other livestock have died or been injured. Similar to the Cattlemens Hurricane Fund established last year, the groups will use the Disaster Fund to help cattle producers begin to put their lives back together.
In addition, hay and feed donations are being accepted. Staging areas for donated hay and feed have been established at several locations in the affected areas.
To make a donation, send a tax-deductible check made out to Cattlemens Disaster Relief Fund to 5501 I-40 West, Amarillo, TX 79106. For information on hay donations, contact Burt Rutherford at TCFA at (806) 358-3681.
