It’s interesting that those with cattle and with cattle experience say it’s possible, yet those without say it’s not.

Why bother learning from people who are knowledgeable when you can just assume along with other people who are not knowledgeable.

Not once did anyone suggest it's not plausible for animals too not die of heat exposer as you have stated. Many things in this world have been pushed as "right" by experts or knowledgeable ppl that have proven to be misleading or false given time... only have to go back the last two yrs for many many examples of this.

This particular situation looks fishy for more than one reason to many that have worked and lived around cattle there entire lives including myself, couple that with planned wars, shortages of many parts and products that we are all experiencing (liberty for ex this incrop season) weird food shortages (baby formula), livestock dying in masses, commercial food production plants not just one two or three having fires or shutdowns but tens if not hundreds. Is it that unplausable to suspect foul play in this situation especially when the heat wave isn't a isolated event to Kansas right now and there are plenty other feedlots in the area that were unaffected by said same heat wave and acclamation.

Makes one wonder if this is the spin story used to push the justification and narrative for mnra vaccines for our livestock? Heat tolerance genome editing?

One must question everything especially after the last 2 yrs of "truth and science" we have lived thro and had rammed down our throats.

Remember... many of yesterday's "conspiracy theories" are now know as today's facts.

But I'm just a no good dirt farmer pay me no mind... I just like to ask questions about the narratives we are being told is fact

We ran cattle for 30 yrs blaithin, in the SW part of sask where its routinely 30 deg for July and August and doesnt rain.

We used to move them in that kind of heat too.

Never did I see any color of cow simply drop dead from the heat. If they have water, they have no problems. In 1988 the temp was over 30 deg every day for June and July and August and we hauled water to the pasture.

It wasn’t that long ago some nature reserve in SW Saskatchewan had more than 40 dead cows, government insisted it was lightning but the vets said the cows didn’t have water, I do believe the cow boss finally took the blame for not turning on the water, the guys that track lightning said no lightning in the area. I’d think a search on the net would bring it up but no dice. I thought it was on the Old man on his back nature reserve.

The weather people are calling for +32, we haven’t gotten much weather over +20 lately, it’ll be pretty tough checking cows this afternoon as all of them will be hiding in the thorn bushes, I do feel sorry for the critters that can’t find shade, but I definitely have market cornered on thorn bushes.

I’m sure Mallee will know a better geographic cut off but Bos Taurus breeds in Australia are predominantly in southern states like NSW and Victoria. You get into the tropical regions like Queensland and NT and it’s Bos Indicus area.

It’s a hot country but that doesn’t mean it’s all equally as hot. It’s not all desert and rainforest. They keep different cattle in different areas.

My niece and her husband farm in Queensland. I believe their cattle are an angus Brahma cross. My son has been there. He said it is much different than here because the land area is so vast. Very little human contact with the cattle. Brahma genetics are required to cope with the heat.

i think that was around Shamrock community pasture and old wives.

Last June during our prolonged 'heat dome' the temperatures reached as high as 42C. That equals 107.6F. We very seldom get this kind of heat in our area. We were thankful for our bush pasture as I'm sure the cattle were too. We had no losses.

I imagine a corn ration of feed wouldn't help matters in those high temperatures. I would think that the feedlot guys in those hotter climes would protect their investment with artificial shade at the very least.

I do believe the Shamrock cattle deaths were from really poor water, I live about 20 miles east of old wives and we have a lot of water out this way that nothing drinks or it will die, it’s amazing when I take the drone up and look around, nice blue water everywhere but it will kill cows if that is the only water source.

I lied, no cows in the bushes I think the bushes are full mosquitoes and flies.

I heard of zero cattle lost in our heat wave last year , but know for a fact cattle died this past winter due to cold

mustn't say that furrow, cmon for christs sake
