***Wonder why they don’t put a water pipeline across the US.***

You would have to pump it uphill all the way. The High Plains, Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevadas...

***Seems like a meat glut is coming in the near term,***

Maybe Biden will do like FDR and slaughter millions of cattle and bury them to keep the price UP!

Trump and crew would be all over this. Airlifting hay if need be.

Brandon thinks it’s a feature, not a bug. In fact, his crew wants us to eat bugs. For real.

Anyone know how long beef will keep in a sub-zero freezer?

Boy, this level of drought has not occurred since the 1930s, must be man made global warming. /s

Back in the day, major water works projects were created to protect against this kind of thing. It took the environmental movement to dismantle those protections and stop other needed projects from moving forward. We must destroy the environment, in order to protect it.

***If herds are severely reduced, it will take several years to recover.***

In 1943, government agricultural agents were begging farmers and ranchers to increase their beef production for the war effort!
Yet just ten years before, FDR had destroyed and buried millions of cattle to keep the price up.

Kind of hard to increase beef when the Democrats have destroyed the “seed stock”.

A solution is to get hay to the farmers from areas that are not in drought. Wait, high diesel prices make this prohibitive - may be we can rail it in? Paging the transportation secretary - oh, his qualifications for the job is that he is gay.

The “flood” of beef will not reduce store prices but will instead increase packer’s profits.

Similar to the $4 tub of Land-O-Lakes oil and butter I no longer buy. Wonder what the profit margin is on that now? Sure seems extreme to me.

In a rare moment of good judgement all my cattle have been gone since late spring when they were looking their best. Just had a feeling and called it right, I rarely do.

In ‘12 the pastures were eaten down to the roots. I am watching the neighbors cows beginning to get frantic for forage and decent water. Looking sideways from a distance grass does not appear too bad but straight down and up close it is sparse. Thankfully we had a good spot rain last week, should save the trees, but it is so hot the grass just doesn’t grow much at all. It rained up to 6 inches in 2 to 3 hours and there was not a drop standing by midnight. I went out and looked, soaked right in. Not even muddy spots.

I have a barn full of decent hay and the price will be high again this winter. In ‘12 it hit $100 a bale and people hauled it hundreds of miles. That is horrible.

Supposedly we are in for a short spell of more seasonal temperatures but the damage has been done. Long range forecast is not favorable for a fall recovery. I hope it is very wrong for others and their stock.
