I haven't heard of any major livestock deaths in Clinton County due to heat however if this happens, there is a USDA program which will provide assistance in the case of livestock or poultry loss.
The Livestock Indemnity Program, or LIP, will reimburse producers for approximately 75% of the market value of livestock lost to extreme weather, which includes heat. To apply for the program, go to the Clinton County Farm Service Agency Office. The program is for commercial livestock. Pets and recreational animals are not covered.
FSA has additional information on LIP online.
