NO grass of any kind for the cattle, I know many ranchers who have had to sell their cattle, because there is no grass and it is too expensive to feed them.
I'm glad that you finally got some rain. It will certainly help things to green up. I hate it when the weather affects the farmers and ranchers. Been there, done that.

Unfortunately, our drought is far from over. We only got 1/2 of our average rainfall for 2008 and we are still at less than 1/2 for our usual amount for 2009. It looks very grim. There was an article in the paper today about a man who had been farming/ranching in this area for 60 years, and he has never seen it this dry. The paper showed a farm pond that was almost dry - he said it had never been this low in 60 years. It is really bad here.
