#Texas #Wildfires #Cows
😭😭😭 Please God protect all the innocent people & animals involved. This is heart breaking 💔
no, we should pay for what we have done.
Good day from Ontario Canada Yes totally especially cattle running not knowing were to go
Thanks
It’s extremely dangerous to be trying to move cattle but it’s your responsibility and living
Thank You for doing the right thing ❤❤❤
What do they do when they reach fence!! Run through,??
@@valnpaulvanordenfences get cut, cattle can get gathered and sorted later after the danger has passed
thank YOU for doing the RIGHT THING. AND THE LOVING THING.
Poor cows😢
It's called slow smoking.
Do you like your beef nice and tender?
@@skankhunt3624and you. Hope Michael Vick sees you in the fiery underworld soon too.
Poor babies 😢❤ it's impressive seeing them run behind the vehicle leading them.
I'm glad to see some of the ranchers care about their animals!
They care about their profits.
I think If they breath the smoke their no good to sell .. Poor cows any how
Losing cattle is losing money.
If they cared about their animals, they wouldn't murder them for money.
Probably man made fire as usual. Throwing out cigarette buds
Poor cows
Fried hamburgers 😋
Ranchers and farmers care 😢 When the fires took place in CA the ranch hands did as much as they could for the animals with tears in their eyes. Hope they can contain the fires in TX with minimal devastation.
I’m so sure. A tear for every penny they would lose.
This is heartbreaking
Praying for Texas
Breaks my heart! Praying for rain for TX, the cows and the ranchers.
My heart hurts for those babies. Lord have mercy
I hope those cattle can get out of there.
Prairie dogs are down to 1% of their historic populations. Their burrowing increases transpiration/rain, cools the ground, & acts as a fire break. Beavers also create fire breaks in riparian areas. Both have been decimated by ranching & other agriculture. Managed grazing can make cattle a keystone part of this important balance of grasslands biotic community, thus filling the niche that bison used to... or just bring back bison. Fire is a part of the cycle of grasslands, but the severity that we are seeing is far greater than what would be with a balanced system.
Thank you for this comment. We are a "me" society in so many ways that people do not consider the importance of a balanced nature and the negative impact we have had on it.
Go Vegetarian ❤

Vegetarian ?
Hamburger and French fries, Beef and Potato stew, Beef Tacos, Beef tips with Broccoli....
Their burrows can break the legs of cattle and horses. Beavers need a constant source of trees for their lodges and for food. Not that many desirable trees out in that area. Beavers don't eat mesquite, huisache, and cedar. And they don't use the entire tree they cut down. Just use the side branches of the larger trees. I lost several prime 5-6" oak trees at my pond and 3 large sweet gums. The beaver tried one, but it got hung up in a nearby pine tree, so he cut the next, and the next. Every young willow tree I planted was cut down. They even started in on my large pines trees along the bank of my pond. They only thing they wouldn't touch were the Chinese Tallow trees.

1. PRAIRIE DOGS
A study in the 80's by Gerardo Ceballos, et. al. radio collared free range cattle near a prairie dog colony. They chose to graze in the prairie dog towns 85% of the time & they didn't break their legs. The 2 species together made for some very healthy grasslands, whereas the areas without the prairie dogs were desert. They are now grazing bison in the study area, & they don't break their legs either.
2. BEAVERS
Beavers only in the riparian areas. To keep their populations down, native apex predators have historically filled that niche. Beavers are a challenge due to property rights, water rughts, & irrigation. As an angler, I'd love to see beaver & predator populations restored at least somewhat. One way to save specific trees is to cage their trunks with strong & tall fencing. Chicken wire is too flimsy.
There were active beaver wetlands in the middle of the Dixie fire in 2021. Many native animals, including the newly arrived Lassen wolf pack, took shelter around the beavers & survived a massive fire.
3. CLOSING THOUGHTS
Humans, their livestock, & pets make up 97% of land mammalian biomass on the planet. Only 3% of intact ecosystems remain on our planet. Temperate Grasslands (includes the N American Great Plains) are considered the most endangered ecosystems on the planet. Migrating Bison would be best for restoration along with the rest of their native biotic community members, but if they are not currently available, properly managed grazing of non-native ungulates is restorative. Plant agriculture is worse for grasslands than well-managed ungulates. I tend to speak through an ecosystems biology & native biotic communities lens due to my wilderness upbringing & restorative agriculture studies & practice.
Where's the airplane water droping
They can't fly in winds 30+ MPH
The pilot is taking a leak.
I will be praying for the Livestock, the wildlife, the ranches and farms, the land, the communities, and the farmers and ranchers of Texas ❤
My experience pales in comparison but I grew up on a dairy farm and it was awful when weather events like hurricanes and blizzards affected hit. We had small controlled brush fires for clearing land and that made them and us edgy too.
Devestating when we read of massive animal loss. Hope we get it together like this person and save them.

Could this be a purposely set wildfire
Does that really matter right now? Usually they worry about that afterwards
@@Dee-jd6ym no s***
Man, Fire is so scary.
So sad!! 😢
Hopefully the fires push the illegal immigrants farther south.
Heartbreaking 💔 for the poor animals!
Prairie dogs could help with absorbing rsin. See video "big little farm". Aboutvsustainable farming. They used barn owls to control the gophers. The coyotes were needed ..it was very interesting...then Calif. Had a drought and this farm survived because of terracing in spirals up slopes.
How did these fires start? I smell a rat from our Gov
Happens every year in the area. This isn't new. You can basically mark on a calendar when the wildfires will start in the panhandle. If you don't have a dozen wildfires before February is finished, then something is out of the ordinary. Whole lot of dry grass and wind that never stops blowing. FIres start very easily and have no trouble spreading. Common culprits are cigarette butts, sparks from vehicles or trains, or even just the sun reflecting off something like a piece of metal.
They are at it again
Yep!!!
Wow 😯
Omg save my cows
They're going to be on a dinner plate either way
I traved alot love my cows animals
This is SAD
Looks a lot like E. Washington during the summer
Horrible poor animals😢
❤🙏🙏🙏❤🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
Was that a Tornado I saw it looked like it could be.
Wheres this
Panhandle of Texas
So sad!
All of these were not started by a SINGLE tossed cigarette... 🚬🔥🔥🔥
There's 20 to a pack.
Laser spark?
Cows ok.love my animals my babies
Heartbreaking
Texas on fire !! 🔥
Not the livestock!!!
I know nothing about wild fires but these don’t look normal.
What part of Texas?
Panhandle
Report the communities that need to evacuate. No news station does. Similar to tornado evacuations. Stop spreading fear. Be more informative. You keep replaying same video. Hold journalists and reporters accountable for sloppy work.
Oh No! This is terrible.
Mmmmm BBQ 🤔☕️
Sad
Wow
Illegals setting fires?
Completely normal for the area. This time of year is wildfire season. Happens every year. Basically nothing but very dry grass, wind that never stops, and things like cigarette butts, sparks from vehicles and trains, or even the sun simply reflecting off something like a piece of metal. Very easy to start a small fire with as dry as the grass is this time of year and the wind takes care of quickly spreading it.
Nice fire joe
Ezekiel 25:12-13 & Amos 1:11-12 has come to an effect here
Wonder if its where trucks bring supplies?!!😮🙄
"Aw... not the livestock."
I wouldnt be surprised if rappers used the footage to be. Backdrop of next apocalyptic video!!!
Fine i guess ill get in shape to help our firefighters 😮💨
Moooooooooooooòoooove
Moooooooooooooòoooove
Most country people are prepared for trouble. Including those leather gloves and long handled bolt cutters in the back of the vehicle. Some people are sleeping in their cars, ready for evac. It's bad.
Odd that I have far more sympathy seeing these Texas cows running from wildfires than I would if they were actual Texans.😁
Your music sucks.
Id prefer the cattle were all just Democrats instead
Or illegals
AMEN
What an awful thing to say.
I like mine rare
COOL
Protect the unborn.
🙏🏼😔🙏🏼😔💙
😥
Sounds like a Texas problem
Hmm does this mean that we will be forced to eat the Bill Gates MRNA cattle (beef). 🤔
The Texas Panhandle produces a large amount of the beef eaten in the US, around 30% I believe, but as big as this fire is it is nowhere near being large enough to threaten the beef supply in the area. The Texas Panhandle is huge, larger than the entire state of West Virginia. The beef production is spread out quite a bit. The most concentrated area would be the big feedlots around Amarillo, but even those are really spread out. The area dealing with the fires right now is mainly just ranches where the cattle are easy to move and, even if they are lost to the fire, represent very little of the overall food production. The fires might be threatening cattle into the hundreds or thousands, but that is nothing compared to the total production in the panhandle. Just the feedlots in the greater Amarillo area represent over a million cattle.
One giant hamburger grill
😮
Aaaand, how did it start? Lightning, accident, migrant camp site?
Jews
*insert conservative Boogeyman here*
@@mok2344if only the cows and landscape was blue 😂
yeah totally. a migrant camp site in the panhandle where its as red as it gets,🙄
@@mattl2843 😂😂
We can assume that these cattle are not likely democrats.
No bone spurs ???
@@Bonjour-World No, they are not stampeding towards disaster and doom, like democrats do.
What do you guys think there's more of in this county? Cows or human teeth?
Living cows vs total teeth? There's lots of teeth underground.
@@xjunkxyrdxdog89 Good point, I should have been more specific. 😅🤣
Teeth
Never heard of Canadian Texas before 🤭
I reside in Texas and I can tell you, there's an abundance of small towns and cities. It's truly amusing! Despite living in SA, every day I discover a new town I've never heard of before. Lol
It's a fair size town..been thru it several times.
Hope the xeno’s and tangoes will be okay.
DEW, Attack.
That not just cows.. that is our Texas steak right there!!!
For those of you that don’t believe in climate change remember it’s winter the end of February. 😳😸
Clearly you don't know the area where this is happening. Head on down to Amarillo to see the area first hand, learn about the history of wildfires in the area, and then you will be able to make an informed comment.
They need to open the gates and let them out, round them up later
Is Abbott going to blame the immigrants for this too?
You'll be one of the first ones whining when they start invading your neighborhood.
Thanks for the tip!
Vote for Trump and ya get fire. LOL
🥲🥲
That would have made some tasty steaks
Now we're talking!
Senator Ted Cruz just announced that he will be leaving for vacation in Alaska.
Stay safe burgers and ribbles
I wonder if the Gov is using their energy weapon on Texas like they used on Hawaii?
This isn't abnormal. Maui was abnormal. This is just the end of winter in the panhandle. Happens every year.
Did they forget to pray or something?!
What a horrible thing to write.
Go Vegetarian ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Okay so I watched. Now what?
Meditate on the possible effects of global warming?
Call relatives who live close to Canadian and check on their welfare?
Drive over to Texas with a bucket of water?
Feel empathy for ranchers and home owners who could lose everything?
Pray?
So where is that new fence that Abbott promised his rubes?
That will surely stop the wild fires.
