New Beginnings

Free Ice Cream from the Cameron Police Department. On Thursday June 30, 2022 Officers and Dispatchers from the Cameron Police Department will be handing out free ice cream in McCorkle Park during the Municipal Band Concert. We will purchase all of the ice cream sold by the Cameron Historical Society and make a donation for their future upgrades to the Depot Museum. We want to thank the Cameron Historical Society and Municipal Band for allowing us to be part of the event in the park.
This is just a small token of our appreciation to our community for all of their support we have received over the years. The concert will start at 8:00pm

Today from 9 a.m. until noon, the Tri County Regional SWAT Team and Missouri State Highway Patrol SWAT Team will be conducting a joint training exercise at a residence just east of Cameron near BB Hwy and Tri County Line Road which is approximately 1.5 miles east of the Cameron Hospital. We just wanted to let everyone know that several law enforcement agencies will by in the area and this is only a training exercise. Chief Bashor

There will be a chance for some strong to severe storms later this afternoon into late tonight, with damaging wind gusts to 60 mph being the main threat from these storms.

We had a natural disaster in Southwest Kansas on June 11th, 2022 and in the days that followed that greatly affected cattle being fed for slaughter. It wasn’t a tornado or a flood or government conspiracy to dismantle our food supply. There’s no mysterious disease or theory, we know exactly what happened.

It’s called a heat index crisis. Prior to this day, our average high temperatures were very mild, the night temperatures were very cool, the wind was normal and we were receiving rain showers that we so desperately needed!

On June 11th, temperatures rose, humidity was high, and wind speed nearly ceased. This is an emergency for cattle. Cattle can not compensate for this type of weather event if they do not get a period of night cooling. For several days this continued. Our people did everything in their power to save as many animals as they could. Our people are amazing and tired and weary. We lost a lot of cattle and we are physically affected by each loss because we know first hand the resources and expertise that goes into raising safe, wholesome and delicious beef for our consumers.

This weather event geographically centered in Haskell County and Grant County Kansas. This is cattle feeding country. We are typically subject to a climate that is superior for raising cattle for slaughter.

There’s a video making rounds with misinformation and I’d like to take the time to connect with you as a feedlot veterinarian from Southwest Kansas, a consumer of the same beef you feed your families, and a person passionately working in production agriculture. If you have concerns or questions, I am happy to connect. I don’t have a video to go viral with because what happened is not entertaining to me, it’s my livelihood and it hurts to see my people dealing with so much loss.
