Rollback scrutiny on cattle prices triggers farmer losses
An OPS rollback on cattle prices caused financial losses for feeders and producers. A Texas buyer who bought 100 head at 500 pounds each faced a 18 percent price cut by Oct 1, limiting value to 26 cents per pound and a net loss of 49 dollars per head, with wider harm to producers and potential fewer future cattle, while wages rose elsewhere and shoppers saw no relief in meat prices.

Effects Of Grazing On Grass Roots
Ranchers learn that grass roots and rhizomes extend deep and host fungi bacteria. Perennial grasses show extensive root systems with depths surpassing eleven feet in some cases. Spring drives most root growth and grazing reduces leafy top growth, lowering plant food supply to roots.
