The December 26-27, 2015 winter storm dramatically affected livestock in the southeastern portion of the state resulting in injury and death to a substantial number of animals. The full effects of the storm are not yet known and response and recovery efforts are underway. The impact on producers, who experienced the loss of valuable livestock, is compounded by the urgent need to dispose of sick, injured and dead animals. Options for movement of live cull animals and disposal of carcasses of animals that were lost are limited. Disposition of live animals and mass disposal of carcasses requires planning and coordination. The following compilation is a quick reference of potential options.
