Only 6000 cows are slaughtered everyday? Not a small number but I would have guessed at least 10000. Go figure.

Some dairy farmers by me have about 100 - 300 dairy cows, I always thought they were pretty good size operations with each farm having a lot of big tractors and tons of equipment, many big barns, buildings, silos, 1000s of acres of land to grow their own crops for feed and so on. Each one probably has 10 - 20 people who work there, maybe more in the summer.

But 18,000 cows? Seems like that operation would be the size of a not too small city with hundreds of workers  working 24/7, yet nobody got killed? But 18,000 cows got killed? No way, not possible to happen by accident.

Yeah, something about this stinks. They said ONE person was critically injured. I know humans have force multipliers, we're smarter than cows, etc. but 18,000 : 1?  Just the size of the building would require more employees and support staff.

And I'm sorry, but the explanation of "a fire which spread" -- cows aren't made of gasoline. Their presence would help PUT OUT a fire, not spread it. They aren't made of dry grass or even green wood. They're not that combustible!

I suspect SOME kind of sabotage, pre-placed explosives -- or more like, pre-placed INCENDIARY DEVICES (think: napalm) to cause a fire.

Some devil wants us to EAT ZE BUGS and they're going to force the issue by making alternatives scarce and/or expensive. The bloody bastards.

All of these events seem to line up with Viktor Suvorov's "Grey Terror." The period before the war in which special forces engage in operations such as these occur to cause damage to critical infrastructure and other materiel, but also to demoralize, confuse and create a general atmosphere of distrust.

Look at a google satellite view of these farms. They have the cows penned up outside in .5-1 acre pens with about 200 cows in each, and 100-300 pens. Lots of cows. But what is there to burn in what is most likely a metal barn? The dairy that burned could technically hold way more than 18,000 inside the building. I was skeptical at first, but it is huge.

18,000 head of cattle perished in the fire at the South Fork Dairy farm near Dimmitt, Texas – or nearly three times the number of cattle led to slaughter each day across the U.S.

Table 3a: Total Slaughter United States (million head).  For the year 2021 that was 34,400,000.  Dividing 34,400,000 head of cattle slaughtered by 365 days in a year yields 94,246 head of cattle slaughtered daily.

Looking at the report for February 2023 (released March 23, 2023:

Beef production, at 2.09 billion pounds, was 7 percent below the previous 
year. Cattle slaughter totaled 2.55 million head, down 5 percent from 
February 2022. The average live weight was down 21 pounds from the previous 
year, at 1,374 pounds.

2,550,000 cattle slaughtered divided by 24 (20 weekdays and 4 Saturdays) yields an average of 106,250 head slaughtered daily.

Obviously the article was more than a little wrong about 18,000 being "... nearly three times the number of cattle led to slaughter each day across the U.S.".


If they couldn't get that simple fact correct one wonders what else in the "news" story was wrong.

Good point DX. Please tell a little about "Grey Terror." What you say is so true. Part of the demoralization is seeing our food and water supply attacked in so many different ways.
