Over 10,000 head of cattle have reportedly died in the recent Kansas heat wave.
Temperatures in Kansas and much of the Midwest hovered around 100 degrees this week.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), there are currently no nationwide food shortages in the country.
“There are currently no nationwide shortages of food, although in some cases the inventory of certain foods at your grocery store might be temporarily low before stores can restock,” the agency said on their website. “Food production and manufacturing are widely dispersed throughout the U.S. and there are currently no widespread disruptions reported in the supply chain.”

As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, at least 18 major fires have erupted at food industry facilities and plants over the past six months. All of the fires have been officially listed as accidental or inconclusive.
The Gateway Pundit published an updated list of US-based food manufacturing plants that were damaged from 2021 to 2022 under the Biden administration. These data were first published at Think Americana.
There are 97 incidents on the list.
DTNPF reported:
The current heat wave blazing through Kansas feedlots has killed an estimated 10,000 head of fat cattle.
Final death numbers continue to come in, but that early estimate was shared with DTN by livestock experts, who put the geographical center point for those deaths at Ulysses, Kansas.
DTN calls to feedlots in the area and to ranchers whose branded animals were seen in some privately shared photos of dead cattle were not immediately returned.
What is known is that leading up to these heartbreaking losses, temperatures in the area were over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, there was humidity, and there was little to no wind to help cool the animals. Temperature readings reported for Ulysses began to exceed the 100-degree mark on June 11. By June 13, the high temperature was reported at 104 degrees, with humidity levels ranging from 18% to 35%. Temperature and humidity levels began to break some on June 14. Just a few days prior to the heat setting in, highs had been in the 80s.
Corbitt Wall, a cattle analyst with National Beef Wire who works out of Amarillo, Texas, told DTN he heard from two non-media sources about the extent of the Kansas losses. He noted there was frustration that despite such extensive losses, the futures market fell Monday.

Amazing. It has to be global warming because the temperature has never been 100 degrees in Kansas right? Maybe, just MAYBE if the cattle weren’t all jammed into mass feedlots THEY COULD ROAM AROUND AND FIND SOME DAMN SHADE!
Seems all those fires are similar in nature to all the ‘accidents’ that make up the Clinton body bag count. Suspicious?
I have a little trouble believing that some maybe but 10000 head feedlot operators are not that dumb they are not going to sit there and watch their the whole operation die without doing something and as for cattle on ranches I doubt that 100 degree temps are going to kill that many cows I grew up on a ranch and never saw cows die because it was 100 degrees maybe with no water but livestock people are just not going to let that happen. Global warming my ass this is a drought that has been going on for twenty years it will break some day then it will be global cooling the climate has always changed .All this climate change bullshit look whos behind it the communists they use every thing to push their world government.
Sounds like insurance fraud.
Odd, you don’t just stand around while 10k beef on the hoof collapse. Beef sales are down due to supply line, rising inflation, etc… There is speculation of water poisoning from upstream dam. These feeders were insured. So, I’ll stick with intentional neglected and insurance fraud. Luckily I have a stack of kosher cuts of steak and brisket in the deepfreeze to tide me over.
