[QUOTE="bverellen, post: 1124666, member: 6274"] .....or we can develope a plan for it. Profitable and sustainable ranching enterprises in the west have drought plans in place for droughty conditions. Sometimes this means de-stocking, selling off all livestock, or leasing more grass, sometimes several states away, or a combination of the above. Perhaps folks in the subtropics and deep south should have a plan in place for flooding and wildfires. You might consider finding more pasture instead of selling off part of your herd. You could split the herd up, or, move the herd from pasture to pasture. While it may be more labor, you could still keep your herd intact. During years where you don't have flood conditions, you could custom graze other peoples cattle on the excess grass from the new lease(s), generating cash flow. Alternatively, the extra grass could be used for a stocker enterprise, or stockpiled for winter use during your dry season. There's always a solution. Good Luck. † [/QUOTE]
