[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1685217, member: 38101"] Brutal when the heat comes and there's been no moisture. We're in year 3 of it, this year isn't too far gone if the rains start to come and the grasshoppers don't get too bad - there's a zillion tiny ones all over already, could be a plague. I'm always torn on what to do with the pastures. One thought is to keep moving them quick and not overgraze but after a while you run out of places to go, they also burn worse after being grazed. Last year I just slowed everything down thinking there might only be one good grazing on each pasture. Seemed a little better maybe - didn't have to wean early. Cattle turn from assets to liabilities pretty quickly in a drought. I shipped anything that looked at me wrong. Why hang on and just have a bigger feed bill if it's bad? [/QUOTE]
