Looking at the Wildfire by the Numbers

A mature, bred cow, not yet calved, could bring about $1,850.
Losing just 10 bred cows, a single rancher just lost $18,500, or the cost of a used car.

A commercial cow-calf pair has a value of $2,150.
A producer who lost 50 pairs in this fire is out $107,500. That’s about the price of a home in Ford County, Kansas.
