Yeah, fuck that oil company. They should be on the hook for all of the Rancher's losses, fixing his land and in my opinion paying 2-4x times the market price for the lost heard.

From the post:
"An attempt by a Kiowa County rancher to increase the nearly $198,000 fine on an oil and gas operator who fouled his land and poisoned his herd was rejected Wednesday by the Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission.
In June 2021, Kevin Davis discovered a large oil spill on his land from a well operated by Western Operating Co. The fence around the site was partially down and cows and calves were wandering around the pad.
One cow was dead, oil coming out of its nose, and others were just lying around. The hiss of escaping gas filled the air. Six cows eventually died and Davis’ entire herd was suspected of being tainted.
