Mid-West Cattle Slake Thirst During Drought. Scene of the plains near Kansas City, showing hundreds of head of cattle slaking their thirst at the man-made watering holes during the fierce drought. One of the worst in history, now gripping the entire country. The water was brought from long distances, dumped into the troughs and the bellowing cattle went at it in a big way. Thousands of the animals are dying daily as promised rain still holds off.
