The drought has some deciding to go into early retirement or sell their animals.
“These cows should be in grass that should be up to my waist and it’s down at my ankles. It’s just not growing,” said Katie Brenny, of Brenny Farms.
Brenny Farms has 25 cows, a bull and a donkey. She runs the farm with her husband, and the couple is fifth-generation farmers. They raise the cows for beef.
