As many as 15,000 cattle may have been killed by the Dec. 28 snowstorm that buried the state’s southeastern region under several feet of snow and built drifts as high as 15 feet, a Colorado Cattlemen’s Assn. official said after checking with ranchers and feedlot owners.
That is more than four times the 3,500 that state officials estimated had been killed, but that number was only for range cattle, not those in feedlots.
