The early October storm, being called the Atlas storm, has devastated much of western South Dakota, and parts of Nebraska and Wyoming. Early estimates have said the storm has left at least 75,000 head of cattle dead from exposure.

The fund will be administered by BHACF in cooperation with the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association, the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association and the South Dakota Sheep Growers Association for the direct benefit of the livestock producers impacted by this devastating blizzard.

The BHACF website offers information about how to donate.
