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. 😢🕊🙏

This breaks my heart, being a farmer/rancher also. Prayers for your friend. 🙏🏻 150 years; 4 years shorter than us, and i cant imagine getting out after all that time. Travesty!
Many in our area contract with a livestock owner they know well to buy meat direct; win for the rancher and win for buyer with clean organic meat instead of commercial. Licals helping locals is the way to go.
