More specifically, the decisions drought forces producers to make. From stocking rates and pasture management to culling decisions, body condition scores, feed costs, and cash flow, Lauren breaks down the mistakes that often cost ranches the most—not because they were made, but because they were delayed. This episode is a practical look at protecting your operation, preserving flexibility, and making difficult decisions before drought takes away your options.
