600 head of cattle surrounded by water, can't escape
LIBERTY COUNTY, Texas -
Along the Trinity River near Liberty County, cattle ranchers are trying to figure out a way to save about 600 head of cattle that are trapped.
The cattle were on dry land Thursday but they're surrounded by water and can't escape.
“They’re on a small area about 50 acres right now,” said Montgomery County Justice of the Peace James Metts. “Right now the only option of salvaging this cattle is either flying them out in helicopters and trailers…if it comes up much more, they’re doomed.” Source
