## Resource

In the scorched borderlands where water is gold, ranchers are turning to tech to survive the drought—sensors on tanks, GPS collars on cattle, and radio towers streaming real-time data straight to their phones. It’s not just about tracking herds or water levels; it’s about resilience in the face of nature’s fury. These modern-day stewards blend grit with gadgets, using innovation to protect their livelihoods and calves like Frankie, proving that survival out here means staying ahead of the heat—with blinking lights and digital signals guiding the way.
