This image was taken in January of 2007, near Tribune, Ks. A series of ice, freezing rain and snow storm has been hitting western ks and eastern co. This heifer, along with the herd, where completely cover in ice and snow except their nose, eyes, and other parts. Many ranchers could not find their cattle because of this. I would guess the cattle where hiding to escape the kill house. Thousands of cattle end up dead. The worst case i heard, one rancher lost about 120 black angus when they walked on the 6 in thick ice of a watershed lake. For that rancher, he just watched over $100,000.00 of product go gulp.
