“I didn't know what to do,” said Larry LeRay.
LeRay says he waited four days for flood waters to subside.

At least 100 head of LeRay's cattle had moved to higher ground when heavy rains flooded a river on the 400 acre ranch on May 6, and stranded cattle on the wrong side of the water, had been without food. Desperate for help, LeRay called the Department of Agriculture, who came out to investigate the situation.
“We had to get feed to them to make sure they're going to be okay until this water at some point goes down enough so these cattle can cross back to dry ground,” said Chief Investigative Agent Jerry Flowers.
The Oklahoma Army National Guard loaded a helicopter and dropped 12 bales of hay and 12 sacks of feed to the cattle on Tuesday.
LeRay says he couldn't be more grateful for the help saving his livelihood.
