Approximately 5.6M acres have burned in B.C. so far this year, up from 3.3M acres in 2018
Beef producers dealing with the most destructive wildfire season in British Columbia’s history are tallying their losses in terms of cattle and infrastructure such as fences, said an industry leader.
The province has been in drought since June 2022 and the situation has continued to worsen, with producers who raise forage facing further shutdowns in irrigation, said Boon. Some areas have lost the third and final cut of the hay needed to get cattle through the winter, he said during an interview Sept. 14.
Although cattle have been killed because of this year’s wildfires, there isn’t yet a solid estimate of the numbers, said Boon. Most of the pasture in the summer grazing lands used by beef herds in the province consists of Crown land that is often rugged and mountainous, and the animals are typically rounded up in mid-October through November.
