[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 413614, member: 4362"] Unfortunately I have dealt with drought for the last two years. This year was by far the worst I ever saw. In my situation, cows will only make me money when the are grazing. Due to the lack of grazing, it was a no-brainer as to the only option I had to make money. I culled to the bones and sold steers earlier than I wanted to. Right now, I have no debt and I have more money in the cow account than ever. Plus, I kept a good many heifers which actually leaves me with more head than I had before the exodus. It looked like the drought has subsided but we are still probably just two weeks away from critical if rain doesn't come shortly. If it rains, I'll have extra hay to sell. If it doesn't, I think I'll get by with the hay I got plus still be debt free. Nonetheless, it will take me two years to rebuild my predrought numbers if I don't buy some springers or something.
