This is the 5th year the drought has hit Texas. Pete Bonds had to cut his herd in half. We decided that we had I remember fishing right in there in the 50's. It is estimated that Ttexas ranchers will lose millions and that will be passed on to the consumer in higher grocery prices. In time which we have already seen, beef is higher today than a few years ago.
Ranchers have few options.
More cops will be destroyed and cattle will be lost. Many aren't sure they'll make it through the rest of the year. Some ranchers in North Texas are going to have to start shipping hay from other parts of the country like Ooklahoma. That can be costly. They may get relief because the U.S. Agriculture secretary will be in Boyd Tuesday to see this devastation firstland.
