They'll print what they're told to or they won't survive

I've worked in the cattle industry most of my life my family were ranchers out of Texas. We use to truck our beeves up to this place all the time

This heat narrative is complete bullsnip

I've seen beeves packed into cattle cars neckbto nut and trucked for DAYS in 115 degree heat and not one die....and that was NORMAL

SOmething here isn't right.....add to the fact they're already manipulating the prices of beef and the WEF says they want us to stop eating meat????

Doesn't take a genius

Enlighten me then

Care to elaborate? who poisons the cattle? the owners? TPTB? are you suggesting there are people clandestinely creeping onto the private property of ranchers and poisoning not just cattle but cattle just ready to go to market? Do poisoned cows all die at the same time?

I don't claim to know the cattle business but cattle dying from heat stroke isn't all that rare, it's just really warm early this year

Impact of Heat Stress on the Beef Industry

The most obvious potential for economic losses to the industry due to heat stress results from decreases in animal performance. A study by St. Pierre et al. (2003) quantified economic losses due to decreased performance, including reduced feed intake, growth, and reproduction, as well
as increased mortality for beef cows and finishing calves. They concluded that annual losses to the beef industry averaged approximately $369 million. At today’s market prices, this amount would likely be even higher.

Are you saying cattle have never died of heat stress in Kansas?

This is the X-Files and I want to believe but I kind of work with the evidence presented.

www.aphis.usda.gov...

in 2015 9 % of all cattle deaths were weather-related and another 14% were unknown nonpredator deaths one would think heat stroke is one of those cases, in some of those deaths of Kansas cattle

So statistically how rare is heat stroke in cattle?



In 2015 poisoning of cattle was less than .2% of all cattle nonpredator deaths. So if these cattle were poisoned somebody somewhere is gonna find out. As poisoning has been listed as a cause of death for a while

Here is an article from 2019 about cattle and heat stress, was this planned back then and there were already posting bogus articles?

www.progressivecattle.com...

and there is this way back in 2010

vetmed.iastate.edu...

and 2011 so it has happened before historically unless they were in on it way back then.

www.nbcnews.com...

Livestock has also been greatly affected by heat wave. A poll of Iowa Cattlemen's Association members indicates as many as 4,000 head of cattle died in Iowa alone.

Thousands more cattle were likely killed in other states, the weather service said.

Dal Grooms, spokesperson for the Iowa Cattlemen's Association, said farmers are doing all they can to protect their animals, but cattle are especially vulnerable as they don't sweat and rely only on respiration.

"I've talked to producers who've been out there just constantly looking for things to do to protect those cattle," Grooms said. "When it gets to be hot and humid like this, it is just very difficult to stop all losses."

Some parts of Iowa last week had six or seven consecutive days with temperatures in the mid to upper 90s and heat indexes as high as 110 degrees. The state remained under a heat advisory Wednesday.

Portions of Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois also remained under excessive heat warnings on Wednesday.

Yeah, bee shortages are not good.

There seems to be a pattern emerging.

35% humidity?

I'm in the neighboring state of Missouri, and it's going to be 93° with 85% humidity today. It's miserable.

I bet a plaine was grop dusting just before this.

Exactly.

California sees those temps down in the valley, why aren’t those milk cows falling over every year at 115f temps? Why aren’t the cows in west Texas and NM falling over in thousands right now? The are seeing a heat wave of well over 100f.

Damn all this time and this was the thread that convinced me.

We need more concrete evidence, we can't just speculate and say I know.

here's the story behind the link in your post

The Farmer John meatpacking plant, one of the largest employers in the city of Vernon, will close its only California site next year “due to the escalating cost of doing business” in the state.

According to Smithfield Foods, the parent company of Farmer John, the plant will close in early 2023.

“We look at our costs on a per hog, per head basis, and the cost to process hogs in our Vernon facility, I can’t give you a precise figure but it is exorbitantly higher than the cost to process those hogs in other facilities where we operate,” Smithfield Foods corporate affairs VP Jim Monroe told Fox Los Angeles.

ie we aren't losing production, it will be moved out of Cali and it doesn't close till 2023.

here's the news story behind the fire at the Monmouth 4/30/22



www.kwqc.com...

The fire was contained to one area and officials said it did not spread to a “large extent”.

In other words the plant is still operating it didn't shut down, LOL it probably didn't lose any daily production.

I hate Schwaub and Soros both but we got to act like we have to have evidence to prove a court case. Listing incidences without showing previous year's disasters and incidences make it difficult to see if this is an increase or just a normal grade "A" American screw-ups, we do have them.

Here's a website describing these incidences as food plants destroyed under Biden, it's ridiculous and his #2 IS THE SMITHFIELD Plant in Monmouth, which wasn't destroyed, hell the fire didn't spread at all according to the news.

It sounds like so much fear-mongering with the same fervor as the BS COVID narrative.

drrichswier.com...

Just because we have a list let's look at those incidences of destroyed food processing capabilities and cattle die-offs closer.

For example, Kansas had over 147,000 nonpredator cattle deaths in 2015 9% of those deaths are weather-related so 14,700 cows died in floods, tornadoes cold but none dies of heat stroke.

FWIW only 2 of those plants didn't resume production fairly quickly and one of those reopened partial production in February

TPTB may want us to believe there is an issue but it isn't as dire as some make it out to be.

"Heat stress." It's a wonder how they survived for millenia with all of the heat waves that have occurred. What was the exact temperature and humidity and how often have they survived those conditions in the past?

35% humidity?

were they packed in?

i think they would have fared better loose on the range, in the grass and under trees.

feed lots are dirt floored and can get hot..

Most weather related cattle loss is due to lighting strikes. That's something that happens a lot around here, in fact some farmers carry insurance on their cattle for such an event. cattle insurance

What is really pretty easy, is to overreact to normal occurrences and attach wild conspiracy theories to them. With nothing but WOW that's a lot of things happening in the food production industry, without showing the end result of all these incidences.

Industrial Food production is dangerous as hell and is notoriously cheap and skirts safety regulations accidents and weather do happen.

Cause easily 30% of these cases are just chit happens if not more. Here's the number of cattle in Kansas in 2020
2.5 million, 10,000 deaths is nothing.

in 2015 in Kansas, went through 5,560,000 head of beef cattle at 500lbs plus

Total U.S. inventory of adult cattle over 500 lb was 77.9 million head. Texas had by far thelargest inventory of adult cattle (9.8 million head), followed by Nebraska and Kansas (6.1 million and 5.6 million head, respectively).
again 10,000 loss isn't stressing the production it sucks for the ranchers involved, but it's a micro fraction of even Kansas's beef cattle production





Kansas is the third largest U.S. cattle state behind Texas and Nebraska, with more than 2.4 million cattle in feedlots.

Cattle began suffering heat stress as temperatures and humidity spiked over the weekend in western Kansas and cooling winds disappeared, said Scarlett Hagins, spokesperson for the Kansas Livestock Association. The animals could not acclimate to the sudden change, she said.

"It was essentially a perfect storm," said AJ Tarpoff, beef extension veterinarian for Kansas State University.

Couple this Cattle incedent with the apparent lack of ' Bumble-Bees ' this year and it could be a real problem.

I've had to self Pollinate much of my garden this year and even still the results are lack luster.

I've seen tons of bumbles. They're around.

Maybe I should plant some clover to attract them.

all over europe it is like in august. in india it was partly 50 degrees. in addition there is not enough rain. the weather extremes are increasing. and this will worsen in the next years and have a bigger and bigger impact on the ecosystem. no matter if you believe in man-made climate change or not, it is happening. besides all the other problems, wars, financial crisis, social unrest and so on, we will have to fight with the climate in the coming years. bad news for everyone but specially for radicals and "my country first" kind of people, because we will only be able to cope with all these problems together, otherwise we might as well look for another planet for our children.

California Heat Wave Kills Thousands of Cattle and Overwhelms Dairy Industry
By Ada CarrJuly 09, 2017
Thousands of cattle have died in California as a heat wave continues to bake the state.

California's Central Valley has dealt with two bouts of prolonged triple-digit heat since mid-June, according to weather.com meteorologist Chris Dolce. Fresno observed nine consecutive days with afternoon readings in the 100s during the second half of June. Saturday marked the sixth day in a row with highs above the century mark in this latest heat wave to begin July, and it's expected to continue through much of the week ahead.

A local state of emergency allowing dairy farmers to bury or compost hundreds of carcasses was declared on June 30 in San Joaquin Valley, the Porterville Recorder reports. The order was extended due to the increase in deaths, however, which has become an overwhelming issue.

“Cow mortality, that happens every day,” Tulare County assistant agricultural commissioner Tom Tucker told the Reporter. “It’s the heat that has made it worse. It hasn’t stopped. We are losing our cows, and it is at an extreme.”
