800 cows killed by a fire at a dairy farm

Quote:However....now I learn there has been a steep sudden drop in the cost of a single dairy cow in the US. And now a single cow could only fetch between $90 and $380.

You make an interesting point. The barns would have been insured. I presume the cows were insured.
They could certainly be replaced for less that they originally cost. 
There is also less demand for dairy products. People are choosing alternatives that are plant based.
I want to know what the dairy farm does now? Do they rebuild. How do they rebuild. 
Is there something going on? 

Manitoba Animal Save is determined to keep the memory of the dead cows alive. They held a memorial vigil for the cows.

Good for Manitoba Animal Save. They are making this story about the animals and not the dairy farmer. 
It is the animals that paid the price and suffered.  Any changes in building codes need to be about animal safety.
