Another cowgirl rancher friend is throwing in the towel. She is having to sell the ranch that has been in her family for 150 years. She is not a “quitter”. She is a tough, strong Texas woman that has survived through so much already. She already sold half her cattle but even that wasn’t enough. This drought has kicked everyone’s butt! She only has one stock tank (pond) that hasn’t gone dry but it’s about to be. The price of hay, feed, fertilizer, weed kill, fuel for tractors and farm trucks is absolutely putting everyone in the red. People have tried to hang on. Our way of life is being taxed and priced out of existence. We cannot even sell cattle for even close to what the middle-man makes and the grocery stores and we are the ones that put our blood, sweat and tears into those cattle. we also risk injury and death working them. For what? To go deeper into debt? To shorten our lives from the stress of trying to make any semblance of a small profit? No medical insurance either. 😢🕊🙏

We moved our mama cows to another place 5 hours away that still has some grass. We thought we would get at least one cutting of hay and almost the day before we cut, the grasshoppers destroyed it. So we had to drive 2.5 hours to get a small load of round bales for the calves and horses that we left here. It’s a struggle for sure. Winter is going to be hard with no hay put up. Not sure what we are going to do. Round bale prices and fuel prices are making the thought of winter is almost unbearable.
They are calling for rain tomorrow. We had a storm a few nights ago but it moved so fast that we only got .75 of an inch. Of course we are grateful for anything we receive but could sure use at least a week of good rain. It’s nothing but dirt here.

Is there a site to connect those who have extra hay/water with those who need it? (Like a NextDoor app for farmers/ranchers)?

I haven’t seen one. The fuel is so high that trucking costs and then fertilizer costs have curbed donations to the states in need. 😢
