We ranch in Eastern NM and it the worst for moisture in 100 years. Our water-tables are dropping, hauling water everyday, and the difficult decision on selling calves early, taking the loss, and trying to hang on to cows that were able to breed back is here. We are a family ranch homesteded by my Grandpa in 1906, & this is our life. We will make it but times are gong to get rough. For you who do not understand, cows not breeding this year means no calves next year. Lots and lots of cows being sold. Pray for rain for all of us. Denco

Beef price may fall with the selling of cattle but the following year, beef will be costly.
