Burt Rutherford Quotations

What we're seeing in the Panhandle right now is a big barn raising, we're seeing people come together through various forms, through various charitable funds, various charitable donations. We're seeing neighbors helping neighbors.

Based on what we saw today on the futures market, I don't think we're anticipating much of a reaction.

Just like we saw with the hurricane last fall, when folks are in need people step up and help out.

I think initially producers should contact their county judge and let them know what they need, and then those judges will begin the process of assessing where they're at.

Everybody in the industry is going to be pretty anxious to know that.

Ranchers who are affected by the fires are still trying to access really what damage they've had, what sort of services, really what they need.

In many cases it was a very severe blow to those ranchers, but cattlemen are used to rolling up their sleeves and going to work and that is certainly what is happening, they're not looking back, they're looking forward.
