Victorian farmer's desperate fight to save cattle from bushfires

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

Victorian farmer Greg Conlon describes fighting bushfires that destroyed 80% of his property in Molesworth, where he successfully saved his cattle herd by calming them during a sudden wind change that could have driven them into metal stockyards. More than 15,000 livestock are estimated to have died across Victoria's bushfire crisis, with many farmers losing all their pastures and hay supplies essential for feeding animals through the dry season. Conlon is raising funds through GoFundMe to help other farmers who have lost everything, including feed for their livestock.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
