A Southwest Nebraska rancher says weather extremes have taken its toll on his herd and his operation’s financial outlook.
Logan Pribbeno of Wine Glass Ranch tells Brownfield “It was the driest year in our 134-year history until we got to December, and it was the wettest month in our 134-year history.”
He says the drought forced him to reduce stocking rates up to 50 percent, calves died because of extreme cold and, now, they’re starting to lose body condition.
