Coday, who had lost a cow to lightning in the past, empathized with the profound impact this kind of loss has on a farmer. He acknowledged that this was an event beyond Jared’s control, a cruel hand dealt by Mother Nature.

Besides the emotional toll, the financial blow is significant. Each certified organic cow had an estimated value of $2,000 to $2,500. With a total of 32 cows lost, the financial loss equated to nearly $60,000. While insurance may provide some relief, the uncertainty surrounding coverage only adds to the distress. “Most farmers don’t carry insurance.

When you lose a cow, you’ve lost everything,” explained Coday, highlighting the risky nature of farming.
