Finding Positives
When challenging times are upon us, as we are experiencing now at BF Farms, we must look for positives. This heat and drought are extreme. We have had 3 animals die from the heat, and along with high-energy costs, we could get negative. But it could be worse. Many cattlemen have lost more, and some have had to sell part of their herd.
Now the positives… look at those pear trees loaded with fruit – the best we’ve ever had. As for our cattle? We are seeing them actually getting accustomed to the heat. Can’t say that for me! And the best positive? In spite of so many negatives, our beeves are still finishing well.
We also have exciting plans for the future – because it WILL rain. This is what keeps us going!
Don’t squat with your spurs on!
