1902 N. PRUETT
- FORT STOCKTON (AP) - Dead cattle and
halves orphaned by a year-long drought litter
some lands In West Texas, an austerely
.beautiful area known more for spacious skies
“ and oil rigs than a scorched Earth 4
: Cattle, their ribs showing In rows beneath
their hide, assemble near windmills where
ivater once was plentiful. Now only buzzards
seem to thrive because just J2.21 inches of rain
has fallen this year at this ranch town where
13 inches is normal.
“There are a lot of ganchers walking around
with long faces. It’s psychological depress-
ing for them to see cattle dying on the range, ’
Pecos County agricultural extension agent
Jennifer Truby said. “They have a lot of emo-
tional attachment to their animals. ”
Off McCamey Road, a solitary black-and-
white calf is crumpled on the dusty ground.
There are no other cattle in sight, except the
dead cow attracting flies and buzzards beside
the fence near Highway 67.
— Just beyond the barbed-wire fence, a wispy
thatch of weeds grow in the drainage ditch —
remnants of p rainstorm last week that drop-
j>ed two-tenths of an inch of rain.
, :.„The calf apparently can walk no farther for
forage. And from a look at the horizon, there is
. nothing for the skinny calf to cat except nor--;
jous weeds. Poisonous weeds such as the
African Rue and yellow-bud Broom Snake in:
qreasingly are being eaten by eatttedesperate
for feed. •_ ’ . / .
With the ground nearly barren of any
growth after 15 months of drought over a 27-
county section of Texas, ranchers from Big
Spring to Alpine and Pecos to Ozona are cry-
ing for help. Last month, the U.S. government
declared the 27 counties a federal disaster
area. • • ** ‘
< Texas Agricultural Commissioner Jim
Hightower says the conditions mimic the Dust
Bowl‘of the 1950s. Upton County agricultural
^extension agent Kent Powell agrees: He naif*
jokingly suggests .any insects seeking- food -
* near parched Rankin should,bring their own.
/ For a Pennsylvania-sized area of Texas to
' go ja long without rain spells ,disaster for the
rancher and for the consumer, who likely will
pay a higher price for beefdue to a meat shor-
tage. Texas has more head of cattle than any
Other state.
