Geary County Extension Agent Kyler Langvardt announced that Monday, October 28th at 6:30 p.m. there will be a special calf auction at JC Livestock Sales where producers can make a donation to a fund for the victims of the last week’s grass wildfire in Geary County. The Kansas Livestock Marketing Association has also contributed $2,500 to the fund. Geary County K-State Research and Extension and Geary County Farm Bureau are supporting the effort.
The grass wildfire burned over 1,100 acres of property. Some farmers and ranchers lost a large amount of haybales and fencing during the fire.
