Breakthrough Horsemanship, Rocking Speer Ranch, Rafter S Arena, and the Christian Rodeo Association have come together in an inspiring partnership to collect essential supplies for farmers and ranchers devastated by the recent wildfires in Texas and Oklahoma. Our collaborative effort aims to provide much-needed relief to ranchers who have suffered immense losses in livestock and resources.
The wildfires have left a trail of destruction, affecting countless farmers and their livelihoods. Our partnership is echoing the sentiments of many in the agricultural community, expressing the urgency in supporting fellow farmers facing unprecedented challenges. Livestock injuries, depleted food supplies, and burned pastures have created a dire situation, prompting the Ozarks community to rally for assistance.
Our collective effort is focused on gathering a variety of supplies crucial for the recovery of wildfire-impacted ranchers. The list includes all stock feed, empty water totes or containers, mineral pails (both empty and filled), fencing supplies such as clips and barbed wire, along with essential tools like fencing tools and leather gloves. The call for donations extends beyond state borders, emphasizing the shared responsibility among farmers to support one another in times of need.
Our team emphasizes a fundamental truth that resonates with the spirit of this initiative – farmers helping farmers. Regardless of geographical boundaries, the farming community stands united, recognizing that the bonds forged through agriculture surpass state lines. The outreach and donations from the Ozark community exemplify the essence of unity, compassion, and collective responsibility ingrained in the farming ethos. At the heart of this collaborative relief effort is a profound belief in unity and shared values; "At the end of the day, we're one country under God, and we are here to take care of those that are in need."
How to Contribute: Individuals looking to contribute to this cause can call 517-899-9511 and speak with Alisha of Breakthrough Horsemanship. Every donation, no matter how small, becomes a powerful gesture of compassion, embodying the spirit of community and shared responsibility that defines the farming way of life. We understand that not everyone in a position to contribute, from you we ask for prayers for those impacted by this crisis. Collections will close Wednesday, 13 March 2024 at 7pm. All supplies will be packed and loaded for transport on Saturday, 16 March 2024.
