Caught between the floodwaters of the Thomson River and Rainbow Creek, both fed from Cowwarr Weir spill, the yearling and autumn-drop heifers on Alan and Leah Wolford’s farm didn’t stand a chance.
Of 50 missing heifers, the family has found 10 all dead and caught with flood debris on neighbours’ farms some of them found kilometres from the paddocks they were grazing.
“I had to get the cows up first. By the time I went back for the young cattle, they were gone,” an emotional Alan Wolford said.
