Oklahoma storm tracker saves cattle from wildfire

Posted on Categories UncategorizedTags

Von Castor, a storm tracker for KOTV in Tulsa, was out tracking wildfires and reporting on the wind that was gusting to 50 mph when he saw a herd of cattle about to be overrun by an approaching grass fire in a pasture. With some difficulty, he managed to open a gate which provided an escape route for the cattle. Not being the brightest animals on the planet, it took them a while to figure it out, but the cows finally, three minutes into the video, ran through the gate as the fire closed in on them.
