With 1.5 million acres of Texas Panhandle ranch land burned, Lee Wells rallied friends and neighbors to step up and help our Texas Panhandle neighbors in need! Here are a few projects that have been assisting ranchers who lost so much in the historic fires:

Project One: We have brokered a deal with a feed mill here in our area to manufacture an all-purpose feed that is safe for horses and cattle - at cost! They have agreed to make as much as we can buy to send to the Texas Panhandle. Together with our network of friends, we have sent right at half a million pounds of grain so far!

Project Two: We have been relocating hay from Northeast Texas ranchers to the Panhandle ranchers. Our network of volunteer haulers have already hauled almost 1200 bales of hay to ranches in the fire zone.

Project Three: With thousands of miles of fences destroyed we were able to team up with national and worldwide disaster aid organizations to provide volunteers to join in our efforts to repair and replace burned fences. A new five-strand fence costs between $15,000 and $21,000 per mile depending on the terrain. We have provided 26,500 feet of new fences for free to landowners with donated funds and labor.

Project Four: The We're Here documentary. We have produced a one-hour documentary film that shares the story of these amazing ranchers and the profound relief efforts that have been so generously donated.
