Strangers sent $80,000 in hay to one burned-out ranch

The largest wildfire in Nebraska history burned roughly a thousand square miles of ranch land a few months ago, including every foot of grass on Mike and Kayla Wintz's 11,000-acre ranch. Then the hay started arriving. Thousands of anonymous donors sent feed from across the country, and the Wintz ranch alone received about $80,000 worth, most of it from people who never left a name. "No one asked for this help," Steve Hartman reported on CBS Evening News. "It just came." It came from farmers and truck drivers as far away as South Carolina. The Nebraska Cattlemen Disaster Relief Fund raised more than a million dollars for affected cattle owners. Hauling hay across the Midwest is its own expense, so the South Dakota Cattlemen's Foundation matched thousands of dollars to cover fuel. The grass is gone for now. The cattle, for the moment, are fed.
