Thought I would check in. Things here in Eastern New Mexico just continue to get worse. We sold all of our calves. They weighed 200 lbs. less than they did last year. Also culled 40 cows and 5 bulls, decision made on age and body condition. The grass is just all gone and no hay, so we will start selling cows 100 at a time. Really just the most heartbreaking time in our lives as ranchers. Everyone doing the same thing. Everyone stock up on meat, because next year thesuppy will not be there. The supply chain starts with the bull and cow and they are being killed by the semi loads every day. Oh well I serve an awesome God and I know he watches over me, so I must run and get ready for church. Denco

I continue to pray for rain and some relief to the horrible conditions ranchers and farmers are facing.

Thanks for the tip. I made a decision last week to plug in our chest freezer and stock up on meats.

I've been thinking about you.
