Cattle owners assessing land and livestock after wildfires need to carefully examine their animals to determine the next steps, said Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service experts. First and foremost, without risking personal safety, make efforts to either move cattle out of the path of a fire or at least cut fences or open gates where they can possibly escape the path of the fire, said Ron Gill, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension livestock specialist and professor in the Texas A&M Department of Animal Science, Bryan-College Station.
