Denver airport finally upgraded the bathrooms that constantly smell like piss only to replace them with the least functional sink design in the world 🤌🏻

@olemissmal I tried offering some input in private messages and he told me he is a DVM!! Guy is a 🤡

Cattle loss explanation (FYI my handle is @feedcattle): In Northwest KS we had a rare weather front come through the morning of the loss event at about 5 am, it went from roughly 72 to 92 degrees within just a few mins and then quickly went back down into the low 80’s by 8 am 1/2

It’s weird how many people have never stepped foot on a Feedyard and yet they know all the Feedyard things this week.

@Jewels_D @TheLastRefuge2 @TopInfoBlogs The cattle are pulled from the pen after death and set aside in a separate area like you see here. I can assure you that these cattle had an ample supply of water.

@DustinA66460461 @RDerstein @WatchChad @BeltwayBeef @newsfromkla @uscattlemen Show me evidence that THE farmer said that… A farmer said that, and one who was clearly uninformed. 1000s of cattle died in the same event across multiple counties in SW KS. Some number of cattle die in any extreme heat event, a day that’s 115 would be no exception.

The development of ProFusion was a challenging and exciting process, and the end result is a product that we are really proud to bring to the industry. Check it out here https://t.co/EYNMyChvYM

[Garrett Love @Garrett_Love]

@WatchChad @RDerstein If you are serious, I’d start w/ what is normal weather for fat cattle in SW KS & what is not (ie avg overnight low is 65°, worst night it barely got below 90°)

I’d listen to animal health experts (if skeptical of nat experts bc
Bill Gates I’d try local SW KS vet @tr_barnhardt).

[Alex Thompson @AlexThompsonPhD]

@WatchChad @RDerstein @BeltwayBeef @newsfromkla @uscattlemen So which is it @WatchChad bad industry practices or conspiracy? Supporting the industry or dragging us through the mud? Pick a side.

[Alex Thompson @AlexThompsonPhD]

@WatchChad @RDerstein @BeltwayBeef @newsfromkla @uscattlemen Then why do you continue to invoke it here?

[Alex Thompson @AlexThompsonPhD]

@AshleyBarton86 @SBakerMD @CarnivoreMD Takes both kinds. Obviously need people educating about benefits of beef as a complete food, but also need people directly advocating for the industry and the issues facing it since there’s no beef without beef producers.

[Alex Thompson @AlexThompsonPhD]

Need more advocates like @SBakerMD who are willing to have practical, science-based discourse about the good and bad parts of beef production. Appreciate his effort to share a response here: https://t.co/h3yT1yL425

[Alex Thompson @AlexThompsonPhD]

@Morty461 @SBakerMD Range cows & confined cattle fed for beef are entirely different animals. Housed in dirt lots w/concrete aprons, no shades in this part of the world. Carrying 0.5” of backfat prior to harvest unlike cows. Combine w/highly fermentable ration generating heat and you can have wrecks
