That will help the ranchers, and farmers out that can't get get to the cattle.

So sad - Tragic! When I was stationed in Colorado '71-74, we had occasion to fly hay out into Kansas and eastern CO during the bad winter storms/blizzards of the day. It was good training, humanitarian, public service..... A big PLUS, win/win/win situation. OUR missions back then, however, were always short-term - nothing like what's happening now....

Great idea, I talked to the AG folks earlier today who were coordinating for large round bales to be dropped off to cattle. It's a world of hurt down there. I spent the weekend with a large group of folks feeding first responders and survivors. We fed well over 2,000 meals while there. Livestock needs will continue for a long time.
