Ranchers in South Dakota figure they lost at least five per
cent of their herds in the worst October snowstorm in a lifetime.
Some areas of the state were blanketed in four feet of snow
that came after heavy rains.
Garry Cammack says his cows were soaked before the snow
began and lasted two days.
He lost 70 cows and some calves. That’s 15 per cent of his
herd.
Some ranchers lost half of their herds. They figure it will
take two years for the state’s beef herds to be regenerated.
