San Saba County Farmers and Ranchers were on their way over the weekend to help out the wildfire victims in the Texas Panhandle. -

Gooseneck loaded up and ready to go!
Last Saturday, a group of eight San Saba County Farmers and Ranchers took it upon themselves to help out with the wildfires in the Texas Panhandle.
They transported four 18-wheelers and four goosenecks full of hay bales to help out those who had lost everything and now have no way to feed their livestock that did make it through the fire okay.
The group caravaned from San Saba to Canadian, Texas, carrying approximately 170 large round bales of hay.
These men volunteered their time, equipment, and labor 'for the Lord's work.'
They donated their own hay, loaded up the hay and drove it up there themselves.
Just the fuel cost was quite a sacrifice, not to mention the wear and tear on the vehicles. The diesel trucks get approximately 4-5 MPG. The trip was 750-800 miles round trip. One volunteer said each volunteer paid anywhere from $300-$500 for fuel. He said they were glad to help out any way they could.
Time. Resources. Labor. Fuel.
They did not want to be personally recognized and only wanted to give God the glory. One of the volunteers said, 'This is who we are in San Saba.'
