Terrible early October 2013 blizzard

[Doug Thorson]

Did you take time to read the idiotic comments that followed?
We need to go there and give them some real facts. It's unbelievable
what people don't understand about livestock, insurance, government and
farmers and ranchers.

I douby they would belive the real facts if they were told. I am sure some of them are just trolling anyway. I have quit reading comments with any story just because there is always somebody who is just trying to get under somebodys skin.

You can't win a battle of the minds with an unarmed person. No matter how wrong they are, they can't tell they are making a fool of themselves.

I am so sorry for the losses that these ranchers have suffered. I am doing my very best to challenge the activists on social media who want to blame the ranchers for these livestock losses... it is the least I can do to help.

Is there a place I can donate some $ to help out?
