QR191 Emergency Responses for High Plains Cattle Affected by the December 28-31, 2006, Blizzard
Authors: Bimal Kanti Paul, Deborah Che, and Vicki L. Tinnon. 2007. 

Parts of six states in the Great Plains region of the United States experienced severe winter storms in late December 2006. This research explored the effect of the severe winter weather on the cattle industry in the Great Plains region of eastern Colorado and western Kansas. By surveying more than 60 farmers and ranchers, the researchers gathered information on industry-specific problems encountered during the storm, the effectiveness of the response to the blizzard, and what farmers and ranchers hope to see in future responses to severe weather.
