[QUOTE="beardface, post: 8191256, member: 16222"] Terrible thing, never easy loosing high levels of stock. Should think the ranch hands were pretty down over it. To put things in perspective though. There's about 9 million lambs born in UK every year. Say average 16 week lambing period, equates to over 8000 dead lambs a day at average 10% mortality. Where there's livestock, there's dead stock. Most feedlots are well run and I think the bigger ones have an onsite vet. We might not like the way they finish stock, but it feeds the masses. Remember a couple thousand head being hoovered up by a tornado when I was there, completely took out a couple of small feed lot operations. And Kansas is about same size as UK. [/QUOTE]
