[@jerryminney3555]

Our thought and prayer are with you , stay strong , from the west coast Oregon we thinking of you all !!!

[@farmingnodak]

Damn I feel for these families... there's been some first time for everything moments for me personally, but this is another level.... horrendous...

[@michaelcook768]

Brooks, I agree. People have to realize the destruction was far more than buildings. This was LIVEstock, and bloodlines perfected by years of breeding. It is beyond money...because it it almost impossible to replace. It is second only to people.

[@michaelc2509]

Prayers from Canada!

[@barbaraaspengen9810]

I cry and pray for all of you and can't sleep at night because it is so painful for me to watch this. I beg God to HELP you so l will keep praying. Thanks for sharing.

[@CORNDODGER]

[@susehendricks6217]

[@BrookhillAngus]

I know it doesn't mean much, because it's just words, but OUR HEARTS at Brookhill go out to you. Like you said, cattle are like family, and watching this happen to family is unbearable.

[@scabs7220]

Such a Sad Heartbreaking ordeal.

[@jenniehuebner3696]

This brings tears 😭 to my eyes. My heart 💜 goes out to the Family! What a horrible loss. Listening to those cries is just heartbreaking 💔

[@wantitok]

So sad, our prayers are with you all. I truly feel for all. Earth Changes Channel

[@jeffreysheldrake3243]

Only months ago after suffering years of drought we had major floods in Queensland Australia . And the poor bloody beef cattle drowned or were bogged and too weak to get out . I'm not sure but I think 100s of thousands of cattle were lost . A lot of farms have been crush to ruin because of this. My sympathy to all the farmers affected in the USA by these floods. It looks bloody grim

[@marcelineingot9359]

Terribly sad, doing everything to keep your cattle fed and watered and then sudden disaster and death.

[@susanadams4290]

God SPEED pray JESUS help all in NEED AMEN.. Love from up STATE N.Y.

[@susanadams290]

Breaks my heart. Prayers for you all.

[@pauliewalnuts7088]

Absolutely gut wrenching I hate to see my livestock helpless

[@paul2019monte]

Heartbreaking. Good people in an impossible situation. American people need to hear this story of what has happened to these people.

[@jennyhackenberg3790]

wow so sorry this happened to you and your family but you will rebuild. stay strong and focus on what you need to do. take one day at a time. God bless you

[@sarahgunner2190]

God Bless the 9 States with recovery from this biblical flood. Beautifully edited

[@margaretjones2055]

Sarah Gunner yes sadly things are supposed to happen God knew this and still knows it. God knew how evil man would bec9me even controlling the weather to bring famine.

[@eyesontheprize6637]

So sorry for your loss.

[@Queenie_78]

So heartbreaking. 💔

[@CuttingEdge49]

Make a mound somewhere on the property. Higher spot for them to go.

[@justinduke8135]

Easier said then done

[@thefarmer1187]

This is getting absolutely crazy and out of hand

[@leonardstubbs1854]

Was it a freak storm ? Or something more sinister? I wish he would spoke on my questions .l

[@DavidJones-rm3ln]

On these farms they have to build mounds large ones so the cattle get to high ground.

[@jandewit6574]

These people hadn't seen water in that spot for 47 years...and not everyone has time and money to just build a big mound...

[@DavidJones-rm3ln]

So your saying this has happened before, so the government has to step in an get this done, they eat beef to huh??

[@jandewit6574]

@@DavidJones-rm3ln yeah I guess It would be nice if the government would help with that..

[@larrybe2900]

I am sure measures will be incorporated to deal with water should this ever happen again.

[@joannrobinson6363]

🙏🏽Prayers go out to the Midwest.

[@DeBe4604]

How terribly sad.

[@quercus4730]

Sorry about your losses of animals and soil. Aren't ranchers able to get subsidies from the government. Hope everyone is okay.

[@lc285]

Devastating. Very sad.

[@Punkinspapa]

Bible says these things will haplen!🙏

[@margaretjones2055]

Ron Wilcox yes but also to pray. their work destroyed quickly refreshing to hear how strangers and other states have helped. clean up is horrendous. folks still think all is fine when I warn grains beef all will go up. they'll see can't have this happen in such big proportion and not have the while country effected.

[@dyscdm1674]

You may be able to get help from FEMA officials.. my ma loss all and no help. Her name was not in the deed. After 14 yrs of caring for granny.. hurricane Marie's hit hard..

[@2fast65]

This is sad to see mother nature can be a bitch but this is not what our country was prepared for this is a huge loss and the farmers connection to his animals is a saddening thing i just hope it works out that they are all still in business when it settles.

[@donald1056]

Just a NIGHTMARE

[@peggymeyers6495]

🙏🏻👼🏻🌞🌕🌍💔 Better to give a animal , than a human. The cost is great but if those where humans the loss even greater. Love will save us, God will keep us. The earth will sustain us. The moon will protect us. 💞💕❤️🦋

[@jimcarson372]

No words:(

[@dorenehendricks6627]

Omg so sad

[@marcelineingot9359]

Beware the comment section is full of trolls and farming experts that probably couldnt get a grass seed to grow.

[@helenjackman8984]

Friends of yours, they must have heard that the flood was coming and did nothing to save the poor helpless creatures, to bad they didn't drown with them, the creeps. I was raised on a farm and milked cows.

[@aztec8888]

So very sad

[@davidandrews2742]

Hello. Look up and wonder why it floods all the time. Theyve been makin storms for 50 years.

[@anonamasnoname9098]

How sad!!!!!

[@dyscdm1674]

😢😢😭😭😭😶.. I pray that you will be blessed and now you know.. climate change has contributed to your loss.. blessings to you and your family the whole state..

[@larrybe2900]

In all due respect, was the Dust Bowl the product of CC? Was the Glaciers receding thousands of years ago the product of CC? This tact is tiring.

[@brianmyers1241]

Wheres Cuomo and Lemmon on this story?....

[@slypen7450]

What nonsense! He lives beside a river. RIVERS FLOOD! Just because grandaddy didn't see one doesn't lessen the threat one iota. Now build a mound with a bulldozer and quit crying about your own failure to forsee the danger and your miserly mismanagement. Farmers get subsidies and are able to insure their herds. Why donate money to those who don't account for nature's wrath Would you give to a homeowner who built on an ocean front, the flank of a volcano or on a known fault?
