Wildfire relief seeks donations for fencing

BOISE CITY, Okla. — Thousands of miles of barbed wire fence was destroyed in Montana this summer due to one of the worst wildfire seasons on record.

With millions of acres burned, Ag Community Relief has established the “Western Wire Roundup” in effort to help western ranchers rebuild, and has already sent 12 loads of hay to the region.

Now, Ag Community Relief is collecting donations to send a full semi-tractor trailer load of Sheffield barbed wire fence (560 rolls), that meets or exceeds ASTM Class 1 standards, to the farmers and ranchers affected by the wildfires.

Stockmen’s Feed Bunk, a ranch supply company based in Boise City, Oklahoma, sold fencing supplies to the ranchers of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas at cost after spring wildfires destroyed over a million acres in those three states. They have agreed to do this again for the ranchers of the Northern Rockies.
