Cattle Caught in Cold Spell Hit Oklahoma Ranchers
Cattlemen face heavy losses from an extended deep freeze across Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle. Texas Agriculture Commissioner John White estimates 100,000 cattle dead in the Lone Star state, with up to 25 million dollars in cash losses and another 25 million lost to weight and disease. Hay shortages rise, feed prices surge, and grain shipments falter as ranchers seek supplies from out of state. Some calves drop during sub-freezing weather may suffer higher fatality rates, while steers in Omaha reach record highs as the livestock economy reels from the cold.

Labor Commissioner Faces Senate Action Over Mileage Claims
Oklahoma Senate leaders consider delaying the Labor Commissioner Wilbur Wright’s appropriation bill after reports he billed the state for travel between his Muskogee home and the Capitol. Attorney General Larry Derryberry says such mileage payments are illegal, with Wright having claimed about 2492 dollars in the first half of the fiscal year.
