At least 2,100 cattle have died from heat stress in Southwest Kansas this summer, leading cattle providers to either bury the corpses or flatten them in landfills, according to Reuters.
At least four major cattle providers, Cattle Empire, Friona Industries, NextGen Cattle and Clark County Feeders, have buried cattle in unlined graves on their property, collectively burying over 600 cattle, according to state documents reviewed by Reuters. Landfill workers used loading equipment with steel wheels to flatten an estimated 2,000 cattle carcasses to eight inches, and mixed the bodies into the Seward County Landfill, located in Liberal, Kansas, according to Reuters.
