Trucking Needed to Transport Hay to Ranchers in NW Oklahoma Affected by Recent Wildfires
Thu, 09 Mar 2017 17:27:14 CST
Executive Vice President of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association Michael Kelsey, reached out to the Oklahoma ag community today with a couple updates regarding the relief efforts being made to help ranchers affected by the wildfires of Northwest Oklahoma.
"As you know by now, many ranchers are in dire need of feed resources," Kelsey stated. "Primarily hay for their cattle to survive until the grass begins to grow later this year. To that end, many ranchers from other parts of the state are donating hay to send to their neighbors up in the northwest.
"The current bottleneck in that process is trucking. We desperately need trucking in order to transport that hay to the northwest."
If you are aware of trucking resources, please share that information with the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association by calling 405-235-4391 or by calling any of the hay drop locations listed below.
