Nebraska Cattlemen offers funds for ranchers affected by Bovee Fire

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Beef cattle producers affected by the Bovee Fire are being offered relief funds through the Nebraska Cattlemen.

The Nebraska Cattlemen Disaster Relief Fund said it is accepting donations through Nov. 30 and applications through Dec. 31.

The funds will help cover items that insurance and government programs will not pay for, such as structural repairs, lost feed, livestock removal and rebuilding costs.

Applicants will need to show what losses were incurred and that those losses were directly related to recent wildfires.

Donations made to the fund may be tax-deductible, and Nebraska Cattlemen encourages donors to bring donation receipts to a tax adviser.

Nebraska Cattlemen membership is not required to receive funds.

Links for both donations and the application can be found on the Nebraska Cattlemen website.
