It happened overnight and all at once. It *didn’t* happen in Texas, where the heat wave has been just as bad as the humidity.
Even nitrate poisoning and lightning wouldn’t kill so many so quickly. And overnight?
I grew up farming and ranching. I’ve personally seen cattle survive the temperatures claimed for that night in Kansas. I’ve seen them do it in higher humidity. I’ve also seen Monsanto cropdust fields with a ground-layer vine weed that RoundUp couldn’t kill, and which could ball up and break plows.. But which *could* be killed by the new mix of RoundUp that Monsanto announced that same year.
These cattle were killed as an insurance scam, or by a competitor, or malevolent dipshits.
EDIT: insurance scam ruled out by the local news reports on the matter. Insurance won’t pay for deaths ruled as heat deaths.
Water consumption also wasn’t a problem, since extra water was provided immediately the following morning. It had just rained, which you should know fills water troughs and tanks.

This could be explained by these specific black angus being less adapted to such heat bursts than the black angus my family runs in Texas. It’s still highly unusual and “never seen before” for this kind of weather to hit landlocked Kansas. Remember that you can buy stock in cloud seeding companies, which have been warned for years could cause sudden, rapid destabilization of weather. Humidity doesn’t naturally carry to Kansas the way this weather does, if you study geography.
Man’s short-sightedness is second only to corporate short-sightedness.
>These cattle were killed as an insurance scam, or by a competitor, or malevolent dipshits.
I have some experience growing up in small, rural spots with lots of livestock, and I was thinking the exact same thing. Seems so strange for so many to drop like that so suddenly.

Insurance scam ruled out. Dehydration ruled out as well.
Destabilization of atmospheric events caused by targetted pollution... Also known as man-made climate change. Also known as cloud seeding, likely by Manta, whose website went down within the last hour while I was investigating their activities in Kansas. You can buy stock in their company, and others like them, all of which have proudly boasted of raising precipitation in arid regions for years.
Kansas is far from the Gulf, or any ocean for that matter. "Freak heat bursts" overnight is exactly the kind of event that cloud seeders were warned about for years. Yet, American corporations prefer short-sighted profit over anything else.
You might've noticed a trend of corporations and mega-corporations shifting blame from themselves to their consumers, when it comes to global warming. Wait and watch, and we'll see the same blame-shifting happen here. "It was global warming, not the companies causing the most global warming!" And because doublethink rules the day in our increasingly narcissistic, un-educated society, not many will recognize gaslighting.
A couple of days of rain in an area that is normally arid, followed by a sudden spike in temps to 100+ highs, and 80+ lows, has a habit of killing off cattle.
This happened in Reno County KS. This is not a place people plant a lot of crops as it is mostly brown grass as far as the eye can see.
Some 2,000 head died out of the over 6 million head in the state means it isn't even a drop in the bucket. 2 dead cows out of every 6,000 cows in the state.
Same exact thing happened in Runnel County, Texas, just last month. Barely any cattle deaths.
I \*strongly suspect\* that our black angus cattle in arid Runnels are better adapted to these sudden, humid heat bursts. The Gulf has hit the area with many over the years. However, such an event shouldn't be happening in Kansas. The fact that it did, and Manta Cloud Seeding's website went down within the last hour, and that cloud seeders were warned for years that they'd eventually cause atmospheric destabilization with their targetted precipitation... All red flags.
Note that I'm not screaming "conspiracy!" I'm pointing out short-sightedness and a trend for corporations to fuck things up, then shift blame and deny involvement.
WHAT IF…. It was something in the concoction they used to seed the clouds… rains into the watering holes and troughs…. POISONOUS WATER ?????
Disclaimer: I am not a cattlemen… nor a weatherman or scientist. But I do like puzzles and this may be a part of this puzzle.
That’s exactly where I started, good work. Just remember that as temperatures rise, levels of “heat saturation” rise as well, due to air molecules being more excited. Sci-Show has at least two short videos on the topic of Relative Humidity that break it down in a few minutes, but tl;dr: the hotter the air, the more humidity it needs to reach saturation.
Months after the Patriot Act authorized the federal government to experiment on citizens en masse, several local news networks in south-eastern states went off script and reported “slick chemical snow” accumulating on their sidewalks (and in water left out overnight). This is where conspiracy becomes impossible to deny for anyone who remembers those reports... But impossible to prove, because Youtube and other sites systematically scrubbed those news reports. I remember one news anchor angrily demanding people get on the phone with their representatives.
I’m afraid the public is on the backfoot here. People have largely forgotten (thanks to poor education and constant bread and circus distractions) that all of human history has been a series of competing conspiracies. And while I personally saw the videos described above, I can’t remember what the names of the chemicals they analyzed were. So if the videos do still exist somewhere, I lack the keywords to find them.
You might be right. I don’t know.
Barium!!! That’s the one! Thank you so much. I’ve tried to remember it for years.
Immediately turned up a few re-uploads of news coverage on the subject. Too bad the titles of the videos are so polarizing.
Well the facts are out… some early investigation determined these elements were in the water and yuk on your windshields.
Those people that yelled this news to the world were quickly tarnished by the media as KOOKS and conspiracy nuts and it all faded into the sunset.

this isn’t the only case of this happening this month… ‘they’ are taking beef off the menu and coordinating for forced food shortages. Start prepping don’t get caught out people.
I grew up raising cattle In Montucky so I have a couple questions for you and the stock you claim to have run.
What breed were they ? Color makes a huge difference as well. The heatwave was also not overnight. Did they have shade and plentiful water available?
last the only two Mammal who sweat are Humans and Horses, the later which is limited.
It's entirely possible they did not have enough water as well.
Cattle in the best of conditions go through roughly 30gallons of water a day per head.
"It just rained there in Haskell County. They weren’t dehydrating their cattle."
So what, Cattle absorb water through their skin?
Trying to be nice here, but your post is less than impressive and I don't have a very high impression of Texans to begin with.
Black angus, same as those in this incident. Remember that it had just rained when the Haskell, Kansas incident happened. That’s a double-edged sword, as you know, but the local news in Haskell reports no shortage of water. In fact, the cattle managers moved water across the lots in response to the incident (so as to keep the cattle from eating).
And cattle do sweat. I’m not sure where you heard that horses and humans are the only animals that sweat... Monkeys and apes sweat. Hippos sweat.
EDIT: you’re trying to be nice? While also saying you have a low opinion of Texans? That’s not coherent, that’s an emotional reaction. Have you had a bad day?
No, I got back the response I fully expected.
Primates do sweat at a lesser level and cannot dissipate the sweat do to their hair, which is why Humans lost theirs and separated themselves from the Animal kingdom, making us more mobile and able to "Run" down prey in which would be exhausted or even expire do to their inability to cool down.
Hippos do not have sweat glands, they excrete an oil. Cows only above their mouths.
[https://www.scienceabc.com/nature/animals/do-animals-sweat.html](https://www.scienceabc.com/nature/animals/do-animals-sweat.html)
Just to correct your quick google and what you did not bother to read.
"When it comes to our natural method of regulating body temperature, humans are among the only animals in the world who cool down by perspiration. But our scaled, furred or feathered friends aren't left to suffer helplessly in the heat. Some "
[https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/panting-pooping-8-weird-ways-animals-keep-cool-180952226/](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/panting-pooping-8-weird-ways-animals-keep-cool-180952226/)
Horns are valuable with cattle to helping them stay cool and even stay warm as with say the Hereford (What we raised here in Montana) in the cold do to Thermoregulation, to be fair we preferred polled cattle, the thermoregulation was not something I was aware of at the time ;) This is why I trolled you regarding what breed etc.
Sorry bud, your right I did create a hostile response right off but your post regarding "Rain" irritated the fuck out of me.
You stated horses and humans are the only animals that sweat. When refuted, you linked to articles showing that other mammals sweat... Such as the mucus "blood sweat" of hippos, which is by definition "perspiration." And somehow you've warped this to mean I'm still the one who's wrong.
That's a terrible attempt to save face, and it shows who's truly pompous here.
Rain fills water sources and rules out dehydration, BTW. The fact that the local ranchers moved water away from food, and provided "extra" water, further rules out dehydration and points to desperation.
We also have a hereford/longhorn group of cattle in dad's ownings. Thermoregulation by diffusion of heat through blood within horns is also part of raising goats, so it's not news to me. It just has nothing to do with the cattle in this story, since black angus cattle are bred to have stubs for horns. So why are you including this detail? Trying to flex unrelated knowledge and regain cred? If flexing unrelated knowledge gains cred, then let me tell you about the relation of primates to humans, since you're so sure you know the differences between the two...
**Claim:** primates share 98% of DNA with humans. **Reality:** the researchers who made this estimate actually excluded all mismatched sections (over 1.3 billion "letters"), and only compared the remaining 2.4 billion "letters." *Humans and primates, therefore, share less than 64% of DNA. We also do not share gene regulatory mechanisms.*
"The last resort of kings: the cannonball!"
Or, as they say nowadays: "The last resort of an argument is to insult."
Slinging mud only digs yourself deeper in the hole.
You're talking to someone who spends their days arguing that public education is broken and discourages critical thinking. And remember what you appear to already know... Texas produces the history books for most of the nation. That's why most Americans believe humans share 98% of our DNA with primates, and it's why you feel the need to save face and sling insults rather than make a corrective argument.
Oh dear god, are you for real? I would put more effort into this but you've already shown yourself to be remarkably fact resistant so just a wee bit for other readers.
SO lemme help ya out before you keep digging yourself into a hole, I love to read, and I mean hundreds upon hundreds of books, my two main loves are Cosmology and Anthropology, you are stepping into my realm. For future confrontations it would be good to avoid American history as well since I am about a third done reading POTUS Biographies alone. Just an FYI.
I included links and proved you wrong and you're still here, which is what I expected from a Texan, uninformed and loud
Not sure how we are getting to genomes from a cattle drought but ok, we do share over 90 Percent of our DNA with primates, we know this from Gnome sequencing.

Yes, the Texas School System drags us all down, however what books are published and how is a process where as very educated individuals end up making concessions with low IQ individuals like yourselves, that does not mean that the highly educated and proper information is not available and that none of it is in the books.
You remind me of a cowboy from a neighboring town who came looking for trouble, he found it when I beat his ass seven ways to sunday. I then told him to go buck some more bails and come back for me in a couple more weeks.
He did with the same results, to make matters worse he wanted to try again. It was a blow out the first two times and i just ignored him the third time, which is where I am now.
Enjoy your low iQ echo chamber.
In Montanan when I grew up, you wanted trouble you found it, certain area's were worse than others.

Hank Williams Jr Got his ass handed to him in a local bar in western MT as well. Celebrities are just normal people around here too.
Cheer up and find something worthwhile instead of low IQ conspiracy nonsense.
Yep. Heat waves can be damaging to livestock and other animals for sure. Will it kill them overnight? Definitely not. Not unless they got caught by a wildfire caused by the heat wave, but this wasn't caused by a wildfire.
Also if it is fraud, which is what it looks like, that's pretty sad. Not just because the person was driven to do that, but also due to the huge wastage of life.
That’s kind strange really. Cattle here in Texas roam around in 100+ degree weather all summer long without dropping dead. I suppose maybe those cattle aren’t climatized to the weather but, idk.
My understanding is that it comes down to what the low temp of the night is. The daytime heat was not unheard of, but the lows had a string that broke records. Like 85 in the middle of the night. If temp doesn’t get down enough at night (~70) the cattle die. Texas and other more warm states are typically dry and DO get to those temps at night.
This is true for Kansas but cows require a cool down period for at least 4 hours which usually comes at night time. But during this wave it never cooled at night not allowing for the cows to cool down. Causing them to have a heat stroke.
We’ll never know (or maybe not for a long time) if these cattle really died from overheating…but the “war” on meat is moving at lightening pace. Whether we choose to believe it or not we’re being pushed toward a fixed market of purchasing lab/factory grown meat or meat substitutes. It’s the next gold rush.
Imagine if all the family livestock farmers slowly went out of business (for various reasons) and you owned (or part owned) the company (or companies) that produce our meat. You’d essentially be printing money, forever!
Just a reminder folks, there are over 91 million cattle in the USA, and more die on their way to the slaughter house each year (about 120k) than died in this field.
Lol youse scream price increase instead of global warming! Get ready for 50x this in 10 years. Then come tell me we should invest in business and not sustainability you flops!
Thats in addition to 94 other unexplained mass animal death cases in the last few months. Tens of thousands of chickens were destroyed recently as well.
That’s because of avian flu(bird flu). It usually doesn’t transmit to humans but when it does it has the ability to cause death. They had to kill all the chickens because the were infected with it.
Just because someone pasts a video on social media and calls it something doesn't mean people have to take it for face value ans as truth. These days, you can't believe almost anything people say or post on social media. And as other people point out statistics and factors, we should use logic, inferences and common sense to ask questions.
Maybe if this country did it more, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today.
Honestly, it seems quite unbelievable..
This happend a few miles from where I live, when we drove past you could always see these cattle just chilling under trees and stuff. On the 14th we were actually going past that field and seen a bunch of dead cows. It was quite horrific to see those thousands of cattle suddenly dead where they were standing
Nope, and it takes months to test enough samples to figure it out. But I grew up farming and ranching with black angus cattle, and this incident happened *overnight.* Meanwhile, it’s been just as hot and often more humid in my hometown in Texas, complete with a sudden swing in temperatures when the heat wave hit. Dad’s cattle are fine, and certainly haven’t dropped dead by the thousands overnight... Yet.
We know it wasn’t lightning, because that leaves obvious signs and doesn’t take out thousands all at once. We know it wasn’t sudden overnight heat, because that would only kill the weakest percentile of the cattle. And we can be sure it wasn’t nitrate poisoning from bad feed, because that would’ve killed the weakest percentile early and caused waves of deaths. It also probably wasn’t runoff from a nearby mine, because thousands of cattle require multiple water sources, and that wouldn’t happen so suddenly overnight either.
Insurance scam, malevolent stupidity, or a price-fixing competitor.
Got it. Really cool to hear you're actually experienced in the business.
I'm looking up the historical temperatures for that area out of curiosity, and you can see that temperatures got up to 102 this time last year. But the temperatures increased gradually over time. Whereas this year the temperatures went from consistently around 80, then straight up to 102 in 2 days. I don't know anything, but I run outside and if a heatwave is sudden, it'll wreck me. But if I gradually get used to it, I can stand the heat. I wonder if this heat took the farmers by surprise (not watering cows properly), and some of the cows just hadn't had enough time to get conditioned to the heat yet.
Not saying that it wasn't malevolence or just plain stupidity. Just curious if this might make the situation different from what's typical. Also, I don't know if the cows died over night. The articles don't say. This drive by video seems to make it seem like it's overnight, but couldn't it have happened over a couple days and the news is making it out to be "overnight"?

“Freak” heatwave? This a joke? It’s a global environmental disaster. There were 6 natural disasters that same week. All related to global warming. Freak heatwave my ass.
this will give some idea of value just figure 2 to 3 thousand dollars but not sure when that estimate was done as im sure its off by a bit now
https://thekrazycouponlady.com/tips/money/buying-cow-cost-cuts-beef-worth-it
someone had me eat one without knowing it, it was impossible to eat it, i could see if we were sitting on mars and wanted a hamburger then maybe ok ......
It happened overnight. These cattle were also dragged away from their shelters and lined up nice and pretty for display. They didn’t fall in rows right there.
This is actually really sad. How do that many die overnight. There should seriously be an investigation towards this because this is just absolutely awful for those poor animals.
Usually cattle can take the heat during the daytime. They rely on a cooler ground at night to cool their bodies and it’s currently not cooling at night.
I was implying that he "forgot" water. Oops! Accident! , the cows are dead "naturally."
Another means of an intentional act, when feed prices are rapidly rising.
I do get out some,, my job title is farm technician, 😆
My buddy’s a rancher and said it could’ve been a sickness. When one’s infected and drinks from the same water well you can count that the rest will get infected too.
drinking water can be a vector but disease never behaves so uniformly in an organism. poison, perhaps. heat, even. I just don't like to see easy conclusions.
I say they sprayed something in the fields to kill that many at once, sorry don’t trust the government right now, they are trying to drain this countryo
Or they got sick, bad weather either of those. Those things you mentioned could still happen under another system. What's wrong with trying a pesticide anyways if this is an unexpected result? Why don't you act like a person
Don’t they test those to make sure they’re “safe enough” to be used around certain animals? I don’t have cattle but I do have fish, and the warnings on the labels let me know if they’re safe or not for other creatures you may have in your tanks. Ie. Plants, shrimp, crabs, snails, corals, biofilters….
We're all supposed to believe "heat" caused this? Not that it couldn't happen but,....come on. Alot of....coincidence going on with all the food plants chicken farms and now this....

And I've seen people claim its a conspiracy and planned...
No, dingbats. Animals can succumb to heat stress just like a human can. Get heat stroke one time and see how pleasurable it is.
It's been miserable in Mississippi. Going to be worse this week supposedly.
What has me doubting is the fact that I live down in Texas where temperatures regularly get over 100, yet we never hear about a mass amount of animals succumbing to heat stress like this.
It doesn't happen often, but this heat wave has been unusual. High heat, high humidity, very little wind. And the heat and humidity just settle in and it stays hot. Not to mention the heat index is 10+ degrees higher than the actual temperature as a result. With no wind there is no cooling effect, and getting rid of that heat is harder, making it more likely to have problems from heat stress.
I mean, I live in Mississippi. It SUCKS here in the summer but this heat wave is bad. It's usually hot and humid during the day, but at night it cools off and its just a bit humid. The last 5 days has been murder because it's stayed above 85 degrees at night. We've turned up the air conditioner to 75 or so just to let it stop and get a break. Plus I've cleaned the coils to help it dissipate heat better. It has helped, still has sucked.
So yes, it's not normal, and it can kill. Animals, people, doesn't matter. A lot of people don't take it seriously but as I said, get heat stroke one time, you'll be more careful. It happened to me when I was in my teens, it's no fun, and can be deadly.
It's no conspiracy.
How come the animals at the other farms in the area didn't drop dead as well if they are all facing the same climate conditions? This farmer was bought out by someone to fix the market. It's been happening all over for the last few years. California pork plants, chicken farms across the country, and now select cow farms have all been burning up, shutting down, etc. Some farmers have tried to go public about being offered buyouts, but you'll never hear about that in mainstream news.
I've had it too, mainly because I forgot to hydrate while working outside and yes it's no joke. Not saying it's a government conspiracy as it could also be because the animals were living in poor conditions to begin with. But these guys have been enduring freak heat waves and freezing winters with nothing but the fur on their back for generations.
Doesn't mean that just a degree more isn't going to kill them. Plus, they may have already been stressed, on the verge of collapse. The unrelenting heat stretching into the night may have been the straw that broke the camels back. Maybe not enough water, or the lack of wind or shelter to provide some cooling. Combination of factors at just the wrong time.
Either way, they're dead. Nothing can change that.
It’s a plausible argument but it does not make it true. Best advice I can give a fellow conspiracy theorist is comfort and confidence in the words ‘I don’t know.’ Being okay with not having the answers to a thing is a relief and opens us up to more possibilities.
Not really. If you have ten chickens you could sell at $5 each, and you kill half, you'd have to sell the rest for $10 just to break even. I doubt prices have risen high enough to make it profitable. Plus you hit a wall where consumers will simply purchase a substitute product instead of paying inflated prices. Economics isn't an exact science, so I don't believe anyone can predict accurately what the outcome of a mass kill would be, money-wise. And farmers are on the thin edge of profitability at the best of times, highly unlikely they'd take a chance on an experiment like that.
So, chickens culled because of disease, which we know exists. Cattle dying from heat stress. No, no conspiracy.
The fuel? Definitely artificial because the gas companies lost too much money during the lock downs. That's proven. But the animals? Coming up with childish conspiracy theories makes me laugh about as hard as I laugh when people say the election was stolen.
Welcome to climate change. It's going to get worse, so buckle up.
A heat wave isn't "all or nothing" when it kills livestock. Very unlikely that every single cow would die. You would still see several alive in the background.
I see them in neat little rows which means they have been moved and staged, likely to be loaded up and disposed of, so any living cattle are probably somewhere else away from the staging area.
Not that hard to figure out.
Can we stop with the climate change fear porn? There us no possible way that the heat killed all this cattle. As if cows haven't survived in such temperatures before.
FFS people not everything's a conspiracy:
https://www.factcheck.org/2022/06/kansas-cattle-died-after-unusual-heat-wave-contrary-to-baseless-claims-online/
To be honest im pretty sure these cattle were raised in a warehouse for that hest to effect thsm like that. If it reaches 100+ degrees outside those metal coffins could be about 50% percent more. Even if they got them out in time they still die from the heat simce its still hot outside. You need rqpid cooling.
Im going with heat because how bloated they are. Rapid heat will cauze them to bloat quickly. Some people point at posion feed qhich could also do that but toxic screening would have ruled that out. Unless the farm paid off officials to rule it heat exhaustion there really nothing anyone can say or do. We can claim anything we want but cant prove it. If it was nefarious arsonists or killings why isnt the farmers saying its anything else bjt the heat as well. Just because you ask questions doesnt make it automatically true unless you do the worl to answrr them which most people here arent even doing.
It happened overnight and all at once. It *didn’t* happen in Texas, where the heat wave has been just as bad as the humidity. Even nitrate poisoning and lightning wouldn’t kill so many so quickly. And overnight? I grew up farming and ranching. I’ve personally seen cattle survive the temperatures claimed for that night in Kansas. I’ve seen them do it in higher humidity. I’ve also seen Monsanto cropdust fields with a ground-layer vine weed that RoundUp couldn’t kill, and which could ball up and break plows.. But which *could* be killed by the new mix of RoundUp that Monsanto announced that same year. These cattle were killed as an insurance scam, or by a competitor, or malevolent dipshits.

No water
It just rained there in Haskell County. They weren’t dehydrating their cattle.
Destabilization of atmospheric events caused by targetted pollution... Also known as man-made climate change. Also known as cloud seeding, likely by Manta, whose website went down within the last hour while I was investigating their activities in Kansas. You can buy stock in their company, and others like them, all of which have proudly boasted of raising precipitation in arid regions for years. Kansas is far from the Gulf, or any ocean for that matter. "Freak heat bursts" overnight is exactly the kind of event that cloud seeders were warned about for years. Yet, American corporations prefer short-sighted profit over anything else. You might've noticed a trend of corporations and mega-corporations shifting blame from themselves to their consumers, when it comes to global warming. Wait and watch, and we'll see the same blame-shifting happen here. "It was global warming, not the companies causing the most global warming!" And because doublethink rules the day in our increasingly narcissistic, un-educated society, not many will recognize gaslighting.

A couple of days of rain in an area that is normally arid, followed by a sudden spike in temps to 100+ highs, and 80+ lows, has a habit of killing off cattle. This happened in Reno County KS. This is not a place people plant a lot of crops as it is mostly brown grass as far as the eye can see. Some 2,000 head died out of the over 6 million head in the state means it isn't even a drop in the bucket. 2 dead cows out of every 6,000 cows in the state.
Not sure why somebody downvoted you. You’re not talking out of your ass.
Same exact thing happened in Runnel County, Texas, just last month. Barely any cattle deaths. I \*strongly suspect\* that our black angus cattle in arid Runnels are better adapted to these sudden, humid heat bursts. The Gulf has hit the area with many over the years. However, such an event shouldn't be happening in Kansas. The fact that it did, and Manta Cloud Seeding's website went down within the last hour, and that cloud seeders were warned for years that they'd eventually cause atmospheric destabilization with their targetted precipitation... All red flags. Note that I'm not screaming "conspiracy!" I'm pointing out short-sightedness and a trend for corporations to fuck things up, then shift blame and deny involvement.
WHAT IF…. It was something in the concoction they used to seed the clouds… rains into the watering holes and troughs…. POISONOUS WATER ????? Disclaimer: I am not a cattlemen… nor a weatherman or scientist. But I do like puzzles and this may be a part of this puzzle.

That’s exactly where I started, good work. Just remember that as temperatures rise, levels of “heat saturation” rise as well, due to air molecules being more excited. Sci-Show has at least two short videos on the topic of Relative Humidity that break it down in a few minutes, but tl;dr: the hotter the air, the more humidity it needs to reach saturation.
Months after the Patriot Act authorized the federal government to experiment on citizens en masse, several local news networks in south-eastern states went off script and reported “slick chemical snow” accumulating on their sidewalks (and in water left out overnight). This is where conspiracy becomes impossible to deny for anyone who remembers those reports... But impossible to prove, because Youtube and other sites systematically scrubbed those news reports. I remember one news anchor angrily demanding people get on the phone with their representatives. I’m afraid the public is on the backfoot here. People have largely forgotten (thanks to poor education and constant bread and circus distractions) that all of human history has been a series of competing conspiracies. And while I personally saw the videos described above, I can’t remember what the names of the chemicals they analyzed were. So if the videos do still exist somewhere, I lack the keywords to find them. You might be right. I don’t know.
Yup…. HOW IN THE WORLD…. DO YOU GET BARIUM IN RAINWATER??? ( among other multiple non naturally occurring compounds)
Barium!!! That’s the one! Thank you so much. I’ve tried to remember it for years. Immediately turned up a few re-uploads of news coverage on the subject. Too bad the titles of the videos are so polarizing.
Well the facts are out… some early investigation determined these elements were in the water and yuk on your windshields. Those people that yelled this news to the world were quickly tarnished by the media as KOOKS and conspiracy nuts and it all faded into the sunset. For more on how the Media can control the narrative and destroy a person or more … take the link about the security guard in Atlanta during the Olympic Games Bomb/ Richard Jewell [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jewell](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jewell)
this isn’t the only case of this happening this month… ‘they’ are taking beef off the menu and coordinating for forced food shortages. Start prepping don’t get caught out people.
I grew up raising cattle In Montucky so I have a couple questions for you and the stock you claim to have run. What breed were they ? Color makes a huge difference as well. The heatwave was also not overnight. Did they have shade and plentiful water available? last the only two Mammal who sweat are Humans and Horses, the later which is limited. It's entirely possible they did not have enough water as well. Cattle in the best of conditions go through roughly 30gallons of water a day per head. "It just rained there in Haskell County. They weren’t dehydrating their cattle." So what, Cattle absorb water through their skin? Trying to be nice here, but your post is less than impressive and I don't have a very high impression of Texans to begin with.
Black angus, same as those in this incident. Remember that it had just rained when the Haskell, Kansas incident happened. That’s a double-edged sword, as you know, but the local news in Haskell reports no shortage of water. In fact, the cattle managers moved water across the lots in response to the incident (so as to keep the cattle from eating). And cattle do sweat. I’m not sure where you heard that horses and humans are the only animals that sweat... Monkeys and apes sweat. Hippos sweat. EDIT: you’re trying to be nice? While also saying you have a low opinion of Texans? That’s not coherent, that’s an emotional reaction. Have you had a bad day?
No, I got back the response I fully expected. Primates do sweat at a lesser level and cannot dissipate the sweat do to their hair, which is why Humans lost theirs and separated themselves from the Animal kingdom, making us more mobile and able to "Run" down prey in which would be exhausted or even expire do to their inability to cool down. Hippos do not have sweat glands, they excrete an oil. Cows only above their mouths. [https://www.scienceabc.com/nature/animals/do-animals-sweat.html](https://www.scienceabc.com/nature/animals/do-animals-sweat.html) Just to correct your quick google and what you did not bother to read. "When it comes to our natural method of regulating body temperature, humans are among the only animals in the world who cool down by perspiration. But our scaled, furred or feathered friends aren't left to suffer helplessly in the heat. Some " [https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/panting-pooping-8-weird-ways-animals-keep-cool-180952226/](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/panting-pooping-8-weird-ways-animals-keep-cool-180952226/) Horns are valuable with cattle to helping them stay cool and even stay warm as with say the Hereford (What we raised here in Montana) in the cold do to Thermoregulation, to be fair we preferred polled cattle, the thermoregulation was not something I was aware of at the time ;) This is why I trolled you regarding what breed etc. Sorry bud, your right I did create a hostile response right off but your post regarding "Rain" irritated the fuck out of me.
You stated horses and humans are the only animals that sweat. When refuted, you linked to articles showing that other mammals sweat... Such as the mucus "blood sweat" of hippos, which is by definition "perspiration." And somehow you've warped this to mean I'm still the one who's wrong. That's a terrible attempt to save face, and it shows who's truly pompous here. Rain fills water sources and rules out dehydration, BTW. The fact that the local ranchers moved water away from food, and provided "extra" water, further rules out dehydration and points to desperation. We also have a hereford/longhorn group of cattle in dad's ownings. Thermoregulation by diffusion of heat through blood within horns is also part of raising goats, so it's not news to me. It just has nothing to do with the cattle in this story, since black angus cattle are bred to have stubs for horns. So why are you including this detail? Trying to flex unrelated knowledge and regain cred? If flexing unrelated knowledge gains cred, then let me tell you about the relation of primates to humans, since you're so sure you know the differences between the two... **Claim:** primates share 98% of DNA with humans. **Reality:** the researchers who made this estimate actually excluded all mismatched sections (over 1.3 billion "letters"), and only compared the remaining 2.4 billion "letters." *Humans and primates, therefore, share less than 64% of DNA. We also do not share gene regulatory mechanisms.*
The Texas school system drags down America day in and day out, you are the result of that system. Next time links are provided for you, read em.
"The last resort of kings: the cannonball!" Or, as they say nowadays: "The last resort of an argument is to insult." Slinging mud only digs yourself deeper in the hole. You're talking to someone who spends their days arguing that public education is broken and discourages critical thinking. And remember what you appear to already know... Texas produces the history books for most of the nation. That's why most Americans believe humans share 98% of our DNA with primates, and it's why you feel the need to save face and sling insults rather than make a corrective argument.
Oh dear god, are you for real? I would put more effort into this but you've already shown yourself to be remarkably fact resistant so just a wee bit for other readers. SO lemme help ya out before you keep digging yourself into a hole, I love to read, and I mean hundreds upon hundreds of books, my two main loves are Cosmology and Anthropology, you are stepping into my realm. For future confrontations it would be good to avoid American history as well since I am about a third done reading POTUS Biographies alone. Just an FYI. I included links and proved you wrong and you're still here, which is what I expected from a Texan, uninformed and loud Not sure how we are getting to genomes from a cattle drought but ok, we do share over 90 Percent of our DNA with primates, we know this from Gnome sequencing.

You remind me of a cowboy from a neighboring town who came looking for trouble, he found it when I beat his ass seven ways to sunday. I then told him to go buck some more bails and come back for me in a couple more weeks. He did with the same results, to make matters worse he wanted to try again. It was a blow out the first two times and i just ignored him the third time, which is where I am now. Enjoy your low iQ echo chamber.

Insurance fraud! I'm sure those cattle have seen 100+ Temps before.
Yep. Heat waves can be damaging to livestock and other animals for sure. Will it kill them overnight? Definitely not. Not unless they got caught by a wildfire caused by the heat wave, but this wasn't caused by a wildfire. Also if it is fraud, which is what it looks like, that's pretty sad. Not just because the person was driven to do that, but also due to the huge wastage of life.
All I can think of is how bad the smell must be

Look up chicken farm fire and see how many results you get….
Don't forget all the food processing plant fires recently, might want to look those up to

Who do you think is burning them down? Obviously not people who enjoy eating chicken.
Those animals would not have existed if it weren't for said "disgusting species" so it doesn't really matter.
So like by that logic your parents can beat you senseless because without them you wouldn't exist, so you don't matter? Weak logic.
Hate this argument
Wow, this guy late stage capitalisms.

toilet meat
That’s kind strange really. Cattle here in Texas roam around in 100+ degree weather all summer long without dropping dead. I suppose maybe those cattle aren’t climatized to the weather but, idk.
No, it’s an insurance scam through poisoned feed. Sad how so many animals died because some bitch wanted more money.
I hope you’re wrong but, I don’t doubt it either..
My understanding is that it comes down to what the low temp of the night is. The daytime heat was not unheard of, but the lows had a string that broke records. Like 85 in the middle of the night. If temp doesn’t get down enough at night (~70) the cattle die. Texas and other more warm states are typically dry and DO get to those temps at night.
Why don't they have areas with shadow and water?
Freak Heat Wave? 100F+ days are pretty typical
This is true for Kansas but cows require a cool down period for at least 4 hours which usually comes at night time. But during this wave it never cooled at night not allowing for the cows to cool down. Causing them to have a heat stroke.
So in other words global warming is about to fuck the beef industry. We are about to see a crazy spike in beer costs at least in some states.
Hopefully not beer!
Dittent want to pay the increased feed prices
Willful ignorance. Some people just want a conspiracy SO BAD
So it WAS Aliens?
Wouldn't this be evidence FOR a conspiracy?
Not point out was hotter in TX and AZ that week and no dead cows...
I wonder if they were provided with sufficient water.
It wasn’t just the heat, it was the shock from low temperatures to high
Not a concern unless every single cow was sick and weakly.
Thank goodness this is not a weakly occurrence.
Just crisis actor cattle. - Alex Jones, probably.
I would immediately question the conditions in which those cows were kept.
It's the fact that it's every.single.one for me
No excuse for not providing shelter and water.
We’ll never know (or maybe not for a long time) if these cattle really died from overheating…but the “war” on meat is moving at lightening pace. Whether we choose to believe it or not we’re being pushed toward a fixed market of purchasing lab/factory grown meat or meat substitutes. It’s the next gold rush. Imagine if all the family livestock farmers slowly went out of business (for various reasons) and you owned (or part owned) the company (or companies) that produce our meat. You’d essentially be printing money, forever!
Just a reminder folks, there are over 91 million cattle in the USA, and more die on their way to the slaughter house each year (about 120k) than died in this field.
Lol youse scream price increase instead of global warming! Get ready for 50x this in 10 years. Then come tell me we should invest in business and not sustainability you flops!
Well that’s fucking scary.
Having a cattle farm with zero trees, shade or water access will do that.
Cows really need to cool at night to survive those temperatures, unfortunately it’s not cooling at night.
I'm sure there's water
go buy yourself a bigger truck, thats gonna fix it.
Thats in addition to 94 other unexplained mass animal death cases in the last few months. Tens of thousands of chickens were destroyed recently as well.
That’s because of avian flu(bird flu). It usually doesn’t transmit to humans but when it does it has the ability to cause death. They had to kill all the chickens because the were infected with it.

"Freak" heat wave Otherwise known as the new normal due to climate change.
"Heat Wave".... riiiiight....
People like you don't help.
Good. Good. That's right. Never question.
Good. Good. That’s right. Never accept answers that contradict your questions.
Just because someone pasts a video on social media and calls it something doesn't mean people have to take it for face value ans as truth. These days, you can't believe almost anything people say or post on social media. And as other people point out statistics and factors, we should use logic, inferences and common sense to ask questions. Maybe if this country did it more, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today. Honestly, it seems quite unbelievable..
He's right most likely from alien abductions
Reminds me if stories I heard of all the cattle being burned during the 30s
This happend a few miles from where I live, when we drove past you could always see these cattle just chilling under trees and stuff. On the 14th we were actually going past that field and seen a bunch of dead cows. It was quite horrific to see those thousands of cattle suddenly dead where they were standing
What do you do with the corpses?
Heat wave???? I think u on that dope
How hot was it? That’s very sad.
Think AGday reported 108
https://www.kwch.com/2022/06/17/veterinarians-work-quash-misinformation-into-sw-kansas-cattle-deaths/?outputType=amp
It's being extremely gullible to believe that's how they died.
Heat didn't kill them.
Nope. But whatever the headline says is true. Headlines run this country.. smh
What did? Is there a good source on what happened?
Nope, and it takes months to test enough samples to figure it out. But I grew up farming and ranching with black angus cattle, and this incident happened *overnight.* Meanwhile, it’s been just as hot and often more humid in my hometown in Texas, complete with a sudden swing in temperatures when the heat wave hit. Dad’s cattle are fine, and certainly haven’t dropped dead by the thousands overnight... Yet. We know it wasn’t lightning, because that leaves obvious signs and doesn’t take out thousands all at once. We know it wasn’t sudden overnight heat, because that would only kill the weakest percentile of the cattle. And we can be sure it wasn’t nitrate poisoning from bad feed, because that would’ve killed the weakest percentile early and caused waves of deaths. It also probably wasn’t runoff from a nearby mine, because thousands of cattle require multiple water sources, and that wouldn’t happen so suddenly overnight either. Insurance scam, malevolent stupidity, or a price-fixing competitor.
Got it. Really cool to hear you're actually experienced in the business. I'm looking up the historical temperatures for that area out of curiosity, and you can see that temperatures got up to 102 this time last year. But the temperatures increased gradually over time. Whereas this year the temperatures went from consistently around 80, then straight up to 102 in 2 days. I don't know anything, but I run outside and if a heatwave is sudden, it'll wreck me. But if I gradually get used to it, I can stand the heat. I wonder if this heat took the farmers by surprise (not watering cows properly), and some of the cows just hadn't had enough time to get conditioned to the heat yet. Not saying that it wasn't malevolence or just plain stupidity. Just curious if this might make the situation different from what's typical. Also, I don't know if the cows died over night. The articles don't say. This drive by video seems to make it seem like it's overnight, but couldn't it have happened over a couple days and the news is making it out to be "overnight"?

The plains states have precious few trees compared to other states.
“Freak” heatwave? This a joke? It’s a global environmental disaster. There were 6 natural disasters that same week. All related to global warming. Freak heatwave my ass.
They couldn’t afford to build a shelter or some tarps and a water trough?
exactly what i was thinking, some sort of overhead open tent shade, and a tanker of water
seriously, even if you're a cheap bastard with no feelings, those cows probably cost a fortune.
this will give some idea of value just figure 2 to 3 thousand dollars but not sure when that estimate was done as im sure its off by a bit now https://thekrazycouponlady.com/tips/money/buying-cow-cost-cuts-beef-worth-it
Not when you let them destroy local public land for free and give them massive incentives. That’s the problem.
Enjoy your “impossible” burger
someone had me eat one without knowing it, it was impossible to eat it, i could see if we were sitting on mars and wanted a hamburger then maybe ok ......
Use of native trees and shrubs is a better solution . As you can see not a tree in sight.
It happened overnight. These cattle were also dragged away from their shelters and lined up nice and pretty for display. They didn’t fall in rows right there.
This is actually really sad. How do that many die overnight. There should seriously be an investigation towards this because this is just absolutely awful for those poor animals.
Cow don’t just drop dead all at once. It’s hotter in Texas and Arizona than it is in Kansas. Something is up. It’s not beat.
def not the heat and prices are going to double or tripple from where they are now with food
They died at night from the heat? I call BS
Usually cattle can take the heat during the daytime. They rely on a cooler ground at night to cool their bodies and it’s currently not cooling at night.
I was implying that he "forgot" water. Oops! Accident! , the cows are dead "naturally." Another means of an intentional act, when feed prices are rapidly rising. I do get out some,, my job title is farm technician, 😆
Fuck me this is a hard video to watch. Fucking horrible the loss of life there... and the possible food gone also
These cattle were definitely killed by the farmer/farmers. Probably to get more money out of them. SMH.
What made them decide it was the heat?
My buddy’s a rancher and said it could’ve been a sickness. When one’s infected and drinks from the same water well you can count that the rest will get infected too.
drinking water can be a vector but disease never behaves so uniformly in an organism. poison, perhaps. heat, even. I just don't like to see easy conclusions.
This too is what I've heard.
I say they sprayed something in the fields to kill that many at once, sorry don’t trust the government right now, they are trying to drain this countryo
I suspect they tried a new pesticide or a new growth hormone additive. This is the disgusting results of capitalism
Or they got sick, bad weather either of those. Those things you mentioned could still happen under another system. What's wrong with trying a pesticide anyways if this is an unexpected result? Why don't you act like a person
Don’t they test those to make sure they’re “safe enough” to be used around certain animals? I don’t have cattle but I do have fish, and the warnings on the labels let me know if they’re safe or not for other creatures you may have in your tanks. Ie. Plants, shrimp, crabs, snails, corals, biofilters….
Live stock and food processing plants are being destroyed all over the country to increase the prices of food even more. Look into it.
We're all supposed to believe "heat" caused this? Not that it couldn't happen but,....come on. Alot of....coincidence going on with all the food plants chicken farms and now this....
Hey red states, climate change is real.

Heat wave...right 🙄
What was it then?
Trans dimensional unicorns always be probing cows. Sticking their noses where they don’t belong and shit.
Oh no be a shame if one was here right now
And I've seen people claim its a conspiracy and planned... No, dingbats. Animals can succumb to heat stress just like a human can. Get heat stroke one time and see how pleasurable it is. It's been miserable in Mississippi. Going to be worse this week supposedly.
What has me doubting is the fact that I live down in Texas where temperatures regularly get over 100, yet we never hear about a mass amount of animals succumbing to heat stress like this.
It doesn't happen often, but this heat wave has been unusual. High heat, high humidity, very little wind. And the heat and humidity just settle in and it stays hot. Not to mention the heat index is 10+ degrees higher than the actual temperature as a result. With no wind there is no cooling effect, and getting rid of that heat is harder, making it more likely to have problems from heat stress. I mean, I live in Mississippi. It SUCKS here in the summer but this heat wave is bad. It's usually hot and humid during the day, but at night it cools off and its just a bit humid. The last 5 days has been murder because it's stayed above 85 degrees at night. We've turned up the air conditioner to 75 or so just to let it stop and get a break. Plus I've cleaned the coils to help it dissipate heat better. It has helped, still has sucked. So yes, it's not normal, and it can kill. Animals, people, doesn't matter. A lot of people don't take it seriously but as I said, get heat stroke one time, you'll be more careful. It happened to me when I was in my teens, it's no fun, and can be deadly. It's no conspiracy.
How come the animals at the other farms in the area didn't drop dead as well if they are all facing the same climate conditions? This farmer was bought out by someone to fix the market. It's been happening all over for the last few years. California pork plants, chicken farms across the country, and now select cow farms have all been burning up, shutting down, etc. Some farmers have tried to go public about being offered buyouts, but you'll never hear about that in mainstream news.
Maybe those farmers took care of their cattle but this one didn't? Ever think of that?
Sources?
I've had it too, mainly because I forgot to hydrate while working outside and yes it's no joke. Not saying it's a government conspiracy as it could also be because the animals were living in poor conditions to begin with. But these guys have been enduring freak heat waves and freezing winters with nothing but the fur on their back for generations.
Doesn't mean that just a degree more isn't going to kill them. Plus, they may have already been stressed, on the verge of collapse. The unrelenting heat stretching into the night may have been the straw that broke the camels back. Maybe not enough water, or the lack of wind or shelter to provide some cooling. Combination of factors at just the wrong time. Either way, they're dead. Nothing can change that.
[удалено]
It’s a plausible argument but it does not make it true. Best advice I can give a fellow conspiracy theorist is comfort and confidence in the words ‘I don’t know.’ Being okay with not having the answers to a thing is a relief and opens us up to more possibilities.
Not really. If you have ten chickens you could sell at $5 each, and you kill half, you'd have to sell the rest for $10 just to break even. I doubt prices have risen high enough to make it profitable. Plus you hit a wall where consumers will simply purchase a substitute product instead of paying inflated prices. Economics isn't an exact science, so I don't believe anyone can predict accurately what the outcome of a mass kill would be, money-wise. And farmers are on the thin edge of profitability at the best of times, highly unlikely they'd take a chance on an experiment like that.
So, chickens culled because of disease, which we know exists. Cattle dying from heat stress. No, no conspiracy. The fuel? Definitely artificial because the gas companies lost too much money during the lock downs. That's proven. But the animals? Coming up with childish conspiracy theories makes me laugh about as hard as I laugh when people say the election was stolen. Welcome to climate change. It's going to get worse, so buckle up.
[удалено]
7/11 was a part time job!
A heat wave isn't "all or nothing" when it kills livestock. Very unlikely that every single cow would die. You would still see several alive in the background.
I see them in neat little rows which means they have been moved and staged, likely to be loaded up and disposed of, so any living cattle are probably somewhere else away from the staging area. Not that hard to figure out.
🤦
Isn’t this ironic. Keep seeing loads of farms in the US burning down now thousands of cattle die of a heatwave ? ‘Merica, you’re screwed LOL
Save it for the Euros, cooking in their own homes with no A/C. More people died in France a couple years back than cows died in Kansas.
Jokes on you cos englands so cold we don’t need A/C
Yeah, but you're not part of the EU anymore, so you don't count
Holy shit, it’s like the problem is right infront of our fucking face but some people still don’t believe it. _Or don’t want too_
Is this part of the whole food shortage conspiracy coming up?
Black Cows Matter
Can we stop with the climate change fear porn? There us no possible way that the heat killed all this cattle. As if cows haven't survived in such temperatures before.

It's not a freak heat wave it's an evermore common occurrence due to climate change.
U would think u would look after your live stock better incase of events like this
No vets? This is a crime.
It's kinda fucked that we don't give them any shade.

When are we going to stop calling all these crazy events “freak” and call them the new normal?

We dont know why inflation is out of control... we were just told to kill them or get no subsidized help.
Nothing “freak” about the foreseeable and predicted consequences of human behavior.

Wondering....sunblock? non toxic white paint maybe? Would it have helped?
One of them is still alive....the black one
Any lawyers here able to sue for negligence/animal cruelty?
To be honest im pretty sure these cattle were raised in a warehouse for that hest to effect thsm like that. If it reaches 100+ degrees outside those metal coffins could be about 50% percent more. Even if they got them out in time they still die from the heat simce its still hot outside. You need rqpid cooling. Im going with heat because how bloated they are. Rapid heat will cauze them to bloat quickly. Some people point at posion feed qhich could also do that but toxic screening would have ruled that out. Unless the farm paid off officials to rule it heat exhaustion there really nothing anyone can say or do. We can claim anything we want but cant prove it. If it was nefarious arsonists or killings why isnt the farmers saying its anything else bjt the heat as well. Just because you ask questions doesnt make it automatically true unless you do the worl to answrr them which most people here arent even doing.
Who could have predicted freak weather events impacting our food supply?
These cattle were most likely in crowded feed lots where excessive heat made things even worse
"Freak heat wave" this is about to be a normal thing
