It is rapidly getting past the point of no return with our drought here. No meaningful moisture since October of last year.
In 2000, the last real dry year, we bought hay and feed and pretty much kept our herd intact. All it got us was and audit by the IRS.
This time, we are planning on selling most or all of our cows - about 725 head. The dry cows (mainly gummers who had their calves stolen) will be gone shortly.
Any ideas of what these cows are worth. They are 2, 3, 4, 5, and running age cows mostly angus and BWF with Limousin calves at side.
Looks like they will have to go in July if the clouds don't show up real soon.
We have 1200 acres of wheat which has already passed the point of no return.
I need to be reminded of how much fun this business is again.
