TSCRA: Cattle Groups Ask For Immediate Disaster Relief
Saying that cattle producers are facing some of the toughest times
ever, Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association President C.R.
Sherron and Texas Cattle Feeders Association Chairman John Gillcrist
repeated earlier calls for passage of disaster assistance for
livestock producers. Texas agriculture groups had already asked for
federal drought assistance in January, February and March.
In a letter to the Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico congressional
delegations, Sherron and Gillcrist noted that there was very little
water and very little grass left in many areas. Livestock-related
losses have already reached $1.6 billion in Texas alone. “A drought
of historic proportions faces us, already equal to that of the 1950s,”
they pointed out.

“Disaster programs such as the Livestock Assistance Program, the
Livestock Indemnity Program and the Emergency Conservation Program
need much greater funding to provide producers with monetary
assistance for forage and feed losses, water, indemnification for dead
livestock and rebuilding structures and fences lost by fire,” the
groups said. “The cattle industry also needs tax relief extended to
those forced to sell off breeding stock.”

Too bad about global warming.
These guys ought to get into raising jack rabbits.
They use a heck of a lot less water, will live in arid climates, and
taste like chicken.

Ranching is a huge gamble. It's like playing the stock market and
nobody bails out an investor if they lose. These cattlemen are just
idiots looking for a govt handout to cover their incompetence.
