Officials in northern California are dropping hay out of helicopters to help cows stranded in the heavy snowfall.
Rancher Robert Puga's cattle had been stranded and starving in the snow for weeks.His ranch is in the far north of California in Trinity County, in an area that's been hit especially hard by the state's recent wave of unprecedented snowfall.
The spring is calving season, and normally there's plenty of grass to feed newborns. But this year, the grass has been buried by up to seven feet of snow on some ranches. Puga was running out of hay when he got a call offering his herd a lifeline. State, federal and local officials from neighboring Humboldt County had put together an emergency rescue operation to airdrop stranded cattle bales of hay. They called it"Operation Hay Drop."
