Texas continues to deal with the largest wildfire in state history. According to Hill County Extension Agent Andy Holloway the losses are continuing to mount for these Texas Panhandle ranchers. “The value of these cattle is at record highs so when just a 500-pound calf dies that’s over a $1,500 loss for that one calf and that doesn’t count his mother,” said Holloway. “That’s the thing, the insurance is a help but with the situation we’re in, it’s not near enough money to replace what they’ve lost.”
