Florida cowboys rescue farm animals left stranded by flooding: 'It's gut-wrenching'
Neighbors and cowboys are searching flooded pastures and cutting fences as water begins to recede, with at least eight cattle reported drowned.
- The Arcadia Cowboys have rescued 23 animals in DeSoto County, Florida, after flooding stranded livestock last week in high water.
- Floodwaters reached nearly waist-deep last week, prompting the Arcadia Cowboys to cut through fences and ride into flooded areas searching for stranded animals.
- "Seeing all those cattle standing up there on that little bit of a hill with their heads poked out of the water, nearly drowning, it's gut-wrenching," Brady Adams of the Arcadia Cowboys said; the team relocates rescued animals to dry ground until owners retrieve them.
- Despite these efforts, the group found at least eight cows that drowned, though neighbors have also joined the rescue mission alongside the cowboys.
- While floodwaters are beginning to recede, the search continues for a missing donkey and a goat; resident Jason Reid described navigating pastures by boat at night to help save stranded livestock.
