Beef from cattle that froze to death is donated

A rancher who had six head of cattle freeze to death in a pond is donating the beef to Safari's Interactive Animal Sanctuary. Curtis Smith told the Tulsa World that four cows and two calves froze after walking into the pond on his ranch in Morris on Tuesday. Smith says between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds of beef were cut into 100 pound pieces for the animal sanctuary in Broken Arrow. The sanctuary includes large cats such as lions, tigers and cougars in addition to wolves. Sanctuary founder Lori Ensign says the cats and wolves eat about 5,000 pounds of meat per month. AP
