The Kansas Department of Health and Environment knew of at least 2,000 cattle deaths due to high temperatures and humidity as of Tuesday, spokesperson Matthew Lara said. The toll represents facilities that contacted the agency for help disposing of carcasses, he said.

How many tens of thousands of cattle died in the dozens of other heat waves as bad or worse over the past century?
Just curious

Many. I wonder though about cows but if they’re mostly angus and not have any zebu in them they’re wimps in heat like a zebu/Brahma in cold. Feedlot calves if weather is too stressful they’ll die like flies hot or cold. Drastic change in temperature especially a rising temperature causes the most havoc. When you get into ambient temperature above body temperature and on 80% grain the body can’t cope.

Be interesting to see the cattle Death stats from that time period when it was hotter

Strange how not one mention of the record cold the past two months in the Pacific NW of the U.S.

Maybe it has happened in the past too therefore it isn’t news just as you downplay this heat event. So if extreme weather is not news and should not be talked about if happened in the past I expect you will no longer bring up spring frosts in nw sask, or drought on your farm as both have happened many times in the past

the difference is that spring frosts don't make every news channel
