Anybody near Dimmit see this? Dairy blew up

[Rhino]

There are a ton of cows up there in feedlots, too.

I spoke with someone close to it. Huge building, 20-30 acres big. Heard it was poop related. Not kidding.

 

[General Zod]

Milk this thread for all it's worth.

Get ready for some cheesy puns.

I'm wondering why no one from TGT was invited to the BAR B Q.

 

[Moonpie]

Sure am glad I didn’t have a steak in that deal.

Do you think the cows found it a mooving experience?

More than a few of those cows died from hoof in mouth disease.

 

[Gordo]

Maybe it was an ATF/FBI raid gone wrong...

Sure, blame it on the farmer for putting the smoke break and fart break areas next to another. I don’t know about you, but at some point cows have to take responsibility for their own actions.

At some point, @popsgarland is going to have to take responsibility for his own actions too... or maybe not...

Several tons even...

 

[General Zod]

Several tons even...

Several thousand tons less right now.

 

[gll]

Several thousand tons less right now.

What? The feedlots blew up too?

 

[General Zod]

What? The feedlots blew up too?

Not sure where they were, but the news says over 18,000 cows were killed.

No likely.

 

[candcallen]

There goes the price of milk and everything made from it.

I wonder if grettas environazis are gleefully dancing right now. Less cow farts polluting the atmosphere.

 

[deemus]

No, dairy situation.

Only time will tell.....I think..

You ain't gonna get 18000 cows in one barn.
That "barn "would have to cover a couple hundred acres if you packed them in like sardines.

I suspect some erroneous reporting.

As big as that fire looked, I'm not sure what kind of area could've been affected. Could be multiple barns and feedlots for all I know. Multiple stories are reporting 18-20 thousand cattle...but they're likely to all be pulling from the same source.

 

[General Zod]

Maybe it was a chain reaction...one cow went up, touched off the cow next to it, then that cow set off two more...

Maybe they were double stacked. You know, kinda like a mag.

All kidding aside. I'm wondering how this will affect the cost and availability of milk.
With the explosion and fire, some of the cows might have been in the pasture and
got hit with debris.

I grew up on farming/ranching .
We ran an average of 50 momma cows any given year.
When it was time for working the herd, they got crammed into a 50' by 100' corral.
It was tight quarters.

I believe an explosion and fire happened at a dairy near Dimmit.
I don't believe 18000 cows perished.
Not one barn. Someone added a zero. Or two.
