Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | runnin hard - 2017-08-29 10:38 PM DaveM - 2017-08-29 12:24 PM We are working with Ranchaid.org to organize a caravan down I-35 to Texas when the rain stops. They will be needing hay, feed, halters, lead ropes, buckets, antibiotics, temporary fencing, and cattle cubes to name a few. Much of the hay stored in barns down in the flood area will obviously be ruined and the flooded grass land will be a mess. Many of the cattle and horses have been moved to temporary areas outside the flood zone and supplies will be desperate, I'm sure. I'll keep posting as we get organized and you can decide what you can supply if you want to volunteer.

If you need round bales of hay (Brome) to load on your trailer I have some I would donate and I can load it here at my place. I just don't have a big enough trailer to make a trip worthwhile. Gail should have my number or can message me here when you get more details and information.
Your just so AWESOME, I pmed Gail to call you.  |

Location: Golden Gulf Coast of Texas | Down here in Brazoria County some rivers still rising. The shelter at the county fairgrounds is full and animals still coming in. I spoke to Jessica Chase who is with Brazoria County Animal Shelter thru Agri-life which is a state agency. They have a phone # for donations 504-913-9441. Accept credit cards but no PayPal yet. She said you could also mail gift cards so they can purchase what's needed. Gift cards to TSC, Steinhausers, etc. That address is Texas A&M AgriLife, 21017 County Rd 171, Angleton, TX 77515
Attn: Jessica Chase. The mail maybe slow but many of these animals will be here for weeks. They have 400 bales of hay donated now but we can't get to it yet. The feed situation is going to get really bad because trucks can't get into replenish the feed stores. The local SPCA has over 1000 animals now due to rescues. They are also at the fairgrounds. I'm sure this is the same situation all up and down the coast. I heard Fort Bend County Fairgrounds is also sheltering and some animals not being taken care of so people that were there were stepping up to help with their care. With the rescues we don't know who some of them belong to. |

She just called. She got out of there and is safe. She is staying at a house now and doesn't have electricity and her phone died on her. Was really worried because I had not talked to her since Monday.

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I am so proud of all my fellow Texans, they all have helped other's in need of help getting out of the flood waters, the more I see the news and how everyone is banding together no matter the color or race they are all helping one another. Theres has been no reports of fighting, rape or trying to shoot anyone at all during this awful time, just helping hands, my hats off to everyone and so proud of Texas and all the surrounding States that have steped in to help. Did anybody see on the news of the human chain getting people out of their cars/truck in fast moving water? These people are just awesome humans  |

Yeah this has been incredibly stressful. I have not spoken to my mother in 7 years if that tells you anything. I'm just sick over it all. |

I'm just off the Mulvane turnpike exit and I have quite a few lengths of the white tape type electrical fencing with the posts included (temporary fencing). It doesn't necessarily have to be hot to keep animals in if they're not excitable. I'd gladly meet up with someone and send it on down the road with you. I'll gladly throw in a couple bags of feed too.

| I am literally in tears at the loss of both human life and livestock. Shelters for people are now flooding, horses rescued and sent to dry barns are now flooding. This is beyond what anyone could have perceived . |

Hi Penny - it's good to hear from you :) I just put you on the list. We are waiting for instructions from Ranch Aid on where and when to deliver hay. Want to join us for the caravan?
?Everyone who can fill a truck or trailer with supplies is welcome to join us for the trek to Texas. We won't be staying - just dropping supplies off and returning home.
