Ranchers are facing significant delays in expanding cattle production due to a resurgence of drought, exacerbating the already small cattle herd in the U.S.
As the drought conditions have intensified, ranchers are forced to make tough decisions, including culling more of their cattle than usual to manage dwindling resources.
Dryness has worsened in many cattle-producing areas, leading to financial strain on meatpackers and soaring beef prices for consumers across the nation.
The drought has drastically reduced pasture quality and availability, prompting ranchers to send heifers to feedlots earlier than normal, impacting future herd expansion plans.
