Arkansas storms threaten large Devon operation….

….the heavy rains associated with the Midwest tornadoes is playing havoc with one of the largest Devon operations in the country.  NADA president Greg Hickl’s farm, which is bi-sected by the Fourche river, has been seriously flooded and half the herd is isolated and threatened…particularly with more rain forecast for today.

A local sheriff, going to the aid of others, drowned in the rescue attempt and there are unconfirmed reports that perhaps four people in all lost their lives.

The farm is home not only to a large Devon herd but to Artisan Beef which sells genetics to other breeders.
