We drove from Tulsa to East Texas on Saturday morning. The sale barn at Emory was packed; cattle trailers were streching 1/2 mile down the highway in both directions. Poor ranchers are feeling the drought...
There were over 3,000 cows up for that auction, and only 1/3 were sold. No rain+very expensive hay=dump cattle. Talked to a neighbor last week, and right now it's taking 7 acres per cow.
Pat, I've had to put out plastic tubs full of water for the deer. They were emptying the birdbaths every night.
