What the National Weather Service wrote

Strong winds greater than 58 mph caused an electrical pole to snap. This resulted in electrical lines falling on four cattle and one horse, electrocuting them. This was a total loss of resources.

The wider storm

A low pressure system over the Pacific Coast pushed into the western CONUS which produced spring and winter weather. Nevada experienced strong gusty winds across the state with tightening pressure gradients ahead of the storm front.
