Helicopter airdrops hay to snowed-in NorCal cows

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:13:00 GMT

HUMBOLT COUNTY, Calif. (KRON) -- As winter weather continues pummeling Humboldt County with precipitation, herds of cattle are left stranded in snow without access to food. Several feet of deep snow and downed trees blocked local ranchers from reaching their cows, and the ranchers alerted county officials of the dire situation. "We’ve had some unprecedented weather over the last two weeks, and we’ve received multiple reports of cattle dying off because ranchers cannot get to their cows due to impassable roadways," Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said. "These cattle are an economic driver, they’re starving and they’re calving right now. So all those things necessitate some drastic measures."Honsal said, "We won’t know until the snow melts how many cattle have died due to these conditions. But I know this for certain, if we don’t act, there’s going to be way more that do die and it will be a catastrophe for our county."A herd of cattle is seen on a snowy mountain. (Image courte...

Takeaways from Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s CNN town hall on public education

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:13:00 GMT

When Republicans were down in 2021, after losing control of the White House and the Senate, Glenn Youngkin gave them hope with his victory in the Virginia governor’s race.The question now for GOP voters is whether they see Youngkin as a rising star — and potential presidential nominee — or as an afterthought in a primary season that has seen former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis corner most of the attention to date.Like DeSantis, Youngkin has not yet announced his 2024 plans. Unlike the Florida governor, Youngkin has so far failed to register as a legitimate contender with the Republican grassroots and in polling.
