Relief for Texas Ranchers
Texas is recovering from its largest wildfire in history which has scorched everything in its path. High temperatures and strong winds fed the fire that burned over 1,700 square miles in the Panhandle. More then 500 structures are gone and thousands of livestock have perished. OGT is working on ways to help, starting with hay relief efforts to feed the cattle that have no grasslands left.
We have delivered three loads of hay and two loads of 1,900 fenceposts each, with more more loads being planned.
If you would like to help with this effort, please donate online to Domestic Disaster relief and write in the comments ‘Texas Fires’. Or you can mail a check earmarked for Texas Fires to: OGT, PO Box 1466, Norfolk, NE 68702
Thank you for your support of the Texas ranchers and all the livestock in need of food and care.
