[QUOTE="norriscathy, post: 162756, member: 2961"] Trying for a "planned liquidation" instead of a crash bail out. Looks like this thing is going to last at least another year. No rain in January, ponds still almost dry and watering out of the well. Without January or February rains ground mositure will be zilch this summer! Spring calving herd is now down to 34 cows from 110. Trying to get a little more age on the fall calves before weaning then. Will probably sell calves in March instead of May. Will hold fall herd until April so they can be verified bred and then reduce the fall herd to less than 50 cows. From 225 cows last year plus replacement heifers to around 80 this year with no replacements. 80 cows on almost 600 acres; hope they can make it and still give us enough of a herd to come back with! Don't know what else we can do!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
