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. 😢🕊🙏

Water = Have you tried drilling wells to create
your own water source or even lake ? Borrow
drill equip from oil riggers!

There is massive water under all of us.

I've read where ranchers are building Alliances
& some are bldg their OWN processing plants.

Gov Abbot needs to force Gov't Agencies to
go thru his office BEFORE visiting any farm/ranch.

States need to take their power back & protect
you ALL!

Also, saw the GoFundMe reply & agree.

There are places in Texas that have no aquifer under them to drill. She tried to sell her beef to locals and didn’t have enough buyers. She sent a message to me that it was too late for any fundraiser. I will copy and post it soon after I hide her name on it to protect her privacy. Thank you for caring.
