[QUOTE="A.Lane, post: 1062830, member: 16376"] I live north of Belle Fourche which was hit really hard with this blizzard. We were lucky and only lost a roping steer all of our beef cows made it through just fine....so far. But we have neighbors that have lost 90% of their herds. I also work for a large animal vet supply company and I have been talking to ranchers all week that have lost everything or almost everything and their neighbors only lost a couple. I also have friends that have lost 13 head of horses.The weather is a strange thing. The worse part everything was still out on summer pasture so not much protection. HD is right the cows smother or walk until they drop and get covered with snow. Here is a link to some pictures of some herds that are farther north of us but DO NOT open the link if you have a weak stomach. It is very hard to see.
