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. 😢🕊🙏

I pray for this woman trying to survive. I pray for God to miraculously give her what she needs to survive in these trying times. This post has haunted me today. Its been on my mind all day. Is the a way we can possibly help her? a fundraiser or something?
