Welcome to 'Dealing With Drought'
On any given day, drought is a problem for cattle producers somewhere in cattle country. Lack of rain and little subsoil moisture create management headaches in terms of water shortages, grass/hay shortages, marketing dilemmas, prices and availability of stored feeds, long-term pasture management and culling decisions. With this in mind, and as a service to our breeders we developed this website as a comprehensive, one-stop resource available 24/7/365 to provide management tips and helpful resources to deal with drought.
