<span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060">Dave Voth, a ranch manager in Nevada, had been working through a summer of intense drought and in August 2021, said he learned more that year than he might ever
learn about drought. One of the main observations he noted was that planning for drought starts the year before – particularly by leaving residual forage behind, but also in analyzing cattle marketing options, creating a plan with decision deadlines, inventorying
water supply, and more. Perhaps you're already facing drought you didn't plan for a year ago, but the information provided can help with some timely decisions now and for creating a larger plan for the future. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060">Drought can bring on a gamut of difficult decisions that go well beyond feed availability. <strong>Maintaining your range is one of the most important priorities
when thinking long term, as one summer of damages can have long lasting effects.
</strong> That can mean making tough decisions about cattle numbers. When making those decisions, identifying the most logical and practical class of stock to sell, both for your operation and for the given market conditions, can largely impact your bottom
line. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060">Then, there’s the fact that a drought may not mean you are short on feed, but instead short on stock water. This could mean you are leaving feed behind
in an already difficult year only because water is not available in that pasture. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060">The many variables drought brings to a ranching operation can certainly make planning and preparing for this natural disaster beyond challenging. While
it looks different for every business, one mainstay which helps when planning for drought is starting early. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060">Voth said this decision goes back as far as grazing intensity in the previous year. Then, as soon as the growing season starts, he evaluates the forage
he has available and inventories stock water. A solid understanding of your feed and water availability early in the year supports planning for the summer ahead. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060">If things are looking grim, early on Voth identifies ways to lighten the feed demand on his operation by decreasing cattle numbers. <strong>It’s important
to remember this doesn’t always mean destocking. </strong> There are multiple options to consider before destocking entirely. For example, Voth said one good option is weaning early as it reduces the cow’s nutritional needs by 40 percent. Again, since every
operation varies, this may not be the feasible option for your situation. Another consideration is culling deeper and earlier than usual. Perhaps some culling decisions can be made at branding rather than weaning or preg-testing time – and it could be an opportunity
to refine your genetics even more. Regardless of which route is best for you, Voth said having a good relation with your cattle buyer or representative is crucial, as is contacting them early. (<em>Resources to observe the market are included below and more information
on marketing will be provided throughout the drought series.) </em></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060">Since the many variables are met with many options, it can be helpful to have a plan etched out well ahead of time, and there are tools available to make
creating that plan as logical as possible. Two professionals at University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources (UCANR) recently created a "</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><a href="https://rangelands.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aabb3bc932b99943fd4ad042f&id=cdfae73f89&e=740c253265" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#82A4A6">Drought

</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060"> </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060">The authors, Grace Woodmansee and Dan Macon, UCANR Livestock & Natural Resource Advisors, call their tool a "starting point" and it is designed to uniquely
fit the needs of your operation - whether that means starting a conversation about drought planning, turning ideas into concrete steps, or simply raising considerations that were overlooked in the past. Regardless of your “starting point” having a well thought
out drought plan can mitigate the impacts of the natural disaster, not just on your range and stock, but on your mind as well. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060">As Voth was doing on his operation, the UCANR Tool helps take stock of supply and demand, and offers ways to balance the two using different strategies
at different times of year. Forage availability, along with the ability to conserve and supplement it, is considered your supply. The demand is the number and class of grazing stock needing forage. At times, both your supply and your demand can be flexible.
For example, during a drought you could decrease your demand as soon as possible by culling heavy, and early, like Voth explained in the video, thus extending the life of your supply. Likewise, some supply flexibility could be practiced by moderate stocking
rates and stockpiling of forage in good years, or by providing supplemental feed when the range is short. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060">Practicing supply and demand flexibility can be done in both a proactive and reactive manner. It’s critical, though, to avoid sunk costs when utilizing
both proactive and reactive strategies. Say you conserved feed for bred cows in a proactive step but then later reacted to drought by selling those cows, the benefit of your investment was not realized. The Drought Decision Tool helps pair proactivity and
reactivity in a logical manner to avoid any sunk costs.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><br>

<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060">To help analyze which options may yield the “least undesired consequences,” the UCANR team also developed worksheets to help fully understand the economic
impact of particular drought management decisions, like weaning early. For beef cattle, the worksheet can be downloaded
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><a href="https://rangelands.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aabb3bc932b99943fd4ad042f&id=c2e422db24&e=740c253265" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#82A4A6">here</span></a></span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060">. The
Excel spreadsheet allows you to simply input the information specific to your ranch and calculates the costs of full feeding, culling, and weaning early so you can weigh the best option for your operation.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><br>

<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#606060">While planning for drought is different for everyone and many hypotheticals are involved, one thing that's certain is that getting an early start and having
ideas in place before they are NEEDED can help avoid sleepless nights, range damage, livestock condition loss, and sunk costs. Whether or not you've been able to get a jump start on the drought many are currently facing, use this information and these tools
to arm yourself for upcoming years and make sound decisions in the given circumstances.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#606060"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
