The drought hit a turning point in Texas last weekend as ranchers made a mad dash to the sale barns, liquidating unprecedented amounts of beef cattle.

Our well dried up yesterday. Rain is forecast for tomorrow. I hope it happens.
Where? What state?
Holy crap!
Is the water table that low in western Misery?
We draw ours from St. Francois Aquifer. 390 feet down.
Do you have a storage cistern? I have a 500 gallon one full just in case.
Praying it rains soon.
When wind turbines fail ….
Lots of cattle went to places north like Montana during Texas droughts of 2012-14
So the price of beef will go down?
LOL. NO.
I was going to get a bull this year and changed my mind and I am ever so glad I did. Until this drought breaks there is just enough pasture for what I have and so far haven’t had to supplement feed. Between fuel costs, feed costs and the drought things are going to hell in a handbasket real quick-like here in Texas. It is so dry and so hot that the ground is literally dust. There is no moisture whatsoever in the soil, and the corn ‘crop’ was baled for fodder for cattle and goats. No corn, none, nada. Milo was harvested so there’s that and lots of farmers here just letting things lie fallow.
The ranchers are reduced to selling their breeding stock, never a good thing.
Totally different region here. Very wet for the last three months. Total of ~20 cherries on my normally several hundred tree. Same with the apples. Everything in garden growing slowly because of lack of sun.
Could just be an off year, could be the beginning of the apocalypse. Gonna happen as it will either way. Hang tight.
Actually, it will, for a short time, then it will go way up…
Taps have run dry in Monterrey, Mexico, where there is water for factories but not for residents
Drought has drained the three reservoirs that provide about 60% of the water for the region’s 5 million residents. Most homes now receive water for only a few hours each morning. And on the city’s periphery, many taps have run dry.
Over the last two weeks, water had flowed in Acosta’s home just once, for several hours. The rest of the time — to flush the toilet, launder clothing, wash dishes or bathe — Acosta had to haul water by hand from a well in a park half a mile away. It was not potable, so she had to buy bottled water to cook with.

Mexico. The template for the NWO.
Rich living in excessive consumption splendor while the little people have to haul water and eat bugs.

”Pepto Bismol sales slump.” CNBC
I’d give my eye teeth to have a side of that ranged beef. Farmers should put the word out that they’ll sell halves or whole. Bet’n they’d sell them off quick.
The FDA/USDA would be on them like flies on shit.
See:
The regulatory capture means it has to go through an approved government slaughterhouse.
Land of the free. Pffft.
I’ve processed my own big game for decades.
I better keep that quiet.
Just the selling that is the issue. You can do as you please (so far) for your own use.
When we did hogs, they weren’t mine. I babysat them for a few months and then took them to where the owners wanted them to go… I can’t help t if they went to the slaughter house and the owner paid me a few bucks for baby sitting and haulage. Same with chickens… Or, you could go tell’m to kiss ur grits…
I hope I can find some seed stock when I need it next year. Many neighbors have had to sell all or part of their herds. Not all of them.
Nae worries lads, KY is the 3rd largest beef producing state in the US of A and we are not having a drought and calves are plentiful on every pasture. Fire up the grill and ice down the beer.
I’m game for that…
