[QUOTE="farmwriter, post: 784094, member: 10309"] In Bama, about 2 hrs from the coast. It was hot, but it's always hot. Problem for us was a much colder, wetter, longer winter that made our winter grazing pretty well useless. Add to that cattle that have been selected to tolerate the heat, and they had some catching up to do once the weather finally warmed up. Drought hasn't hit us nearly as hard as most of the folks in our area (a miracle in itself) and really didn't catch-up to us until a month or so ago. We're very sandy though, so once the dry weather hits, it hits hard. We say we're never more than about 10 days from a drought. The plan we're kicking around now (family decisions... :roll: ) is to keep a few of the better ones that are open, cut them out from the girls that are bred, and see what the market, weather, and their condition all do. We don't stock nearly as heavy as a lot of folks do, so we should have enough space to run them separately and try to make their hay, grazing, etc. go a little further than what we allow for the girls that are carrying.
