What happens if the Wind doesn't blow???

In the Nebraska there rarely is a day that the wind doesn't blow, so many ranchers depend on the wind to power a windmill to pump water for their cattle. Cattle without water for even a short amount of time can be extremely devastating to the herd. Well this weekend in Sidney the wind hadn't blown for a few days and the boys found their cattle thirsty and the cattle tanks destroyed by the cattle searching for water. They instantly had to fix the tanks and bring up water for the cattle.  When ranchers choose to raise cattle, they choose to dedicate their lives to providing proper food, water and home for them. Whether it's during the middle of a hot summer afternoon or a late winter night, ranchers must always do what is needed to raise their cattle.

Thirsty cows and calves.
