[QUOTE="BC, post: 1755529, member: 67"] Lucky, I have been through several of these. I cannot remember the exact year, but around 1973 or 74 the hands from the Crockett sale on Tuesday didn't get to Center the next day until after the sale started and I saw the line at the old Patton sale barn in Nacogdoches back all the way to the loop. 1980 sticks in my mind because of the heat and lack of rain. I moved to Van Zandt in 1992 and 1996 saw a sell off due to drought. 2011 was the last bad drought. You asked were folks overstocked? the answer has a couple of scenarios. We use to apply fertilizer to pastures and to hay fields. Economics ended that but stocking rates didn't change. The other thing is mature size on cows has increased without a change in the number of cows we run a property. [/QUOTE]
