"Take all the coastal parishes, they all had cattle," said Bob Felknor, spokesman for the Louisiana Cattlemen's Association. "It could be more than 30,000 in trouble. "
Any high ground — levees, highways, even parking lots — was being used to hold the thousands of rescued cattle, Felknor said.
Hay to feed the animals was being brought down from central and northern parts of the state, as well as from Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska.
"The problem we're having is transportation," Felknor said. "We have to get more trucks. "
