Twitter is incredible for breaking news. Also a lot of bad info.
Apparently there is Search and Rescue team from Elkhorn on scene and one from Lincoln on the way.

I believe it is because of some of the micro nutrients that are in it and it ,in theory, helps the cattle convert the high energy food they are feed more efficiency. It is used in very small amounts if I remember correctly and it emulates the intake they would get "grazing on the range"
