known as the Texas Water Re-
sources Institute.
The word "Texas" added to
the name was authorized by the

I)r J R Runkli s. Institute
dirictor, said the name change
more accurately reflects the
statewide scope and research
activities
lh said the Institute program
now includes 33 research priv
jeets Of these, 13 are coopera-
tive with the University of Texas
at Austin, the University of Hous-
ton. Texas Till University. Bay-
lor University and l.amar State
College of Technology
Research program activities in-
clude water resources planning,
conservation, water quality, eco-

ment. ecology, and recreation.
Examples, flunkies said, are irri-
gation studies in the High Plains

Drought Intensifies
Balancing Act
Tile drought conditions that
have dcvasteil much of the state's
rangeland and pastures are forc-
ing ranchers to make decisions
on matching forage production
and supplemental feeding with
cow numbers and production
levels
These decisions become more
and more complicated as the
rancher tries to keep losses low
while retaining enough cattle to
make a reasonably quick finan-
cial recovery after normal rain-
fall resumes
A short drought is sometimes
serious enough to reduce forage
production by 00-70 percent, ac-
cording lo L A. Maddox Jr . Ex-
tensioti beef cattle specialist
This lower forage production can
n luce cow weights by 75 to lflO
pounds and cause calf weights
to sag 7,"i to 125 pounds, h" added
Calf crops can be reduced
mole than 20 percent when the
most severe period of the drought
occurs when cows are expected
to rebrced. the specialist noted
Hie feed supply on well man-
iged ranges may not be seriously
educed by the first six to 12
months of a drought In cause of
old forage on the ground and
drought resistant plants that will
;row on subsoil moisture In
eases such as these, a small ad-
dition in supplemental feeding
can allow maintenance of norma!
•ow numbers with some reduction
in cow weight and weaning
weight.
Stockmen in the midst of long
term drought periods, plagued
with poor cows, no subsoil mois-
ture no reserve feed, and pas-
tures without anything to slow
down runoff, may see their for-
age production drop to 10 to 20
pi cent of normal
When faced with such drasti-
cally reduced forage supplies,
the rancher must reduce eow
numbers, sell light weight calves,
and spend more for supplemental
feeding.
Maddox \plaincd that in long
term drought situations there
comes a time when the rancher
can't maintain his usual num-
bers without buying most of his
feed
If forage production is kept at
about 60 percent of normal, re-
gular production levels might he
maintained by reducing cow
numbers fiO percen'
With the same reduction in
forage production, a rancher
could keep alxmt 7fi percent of
normal cow numbers if he would
be satisfied with reductions of
71 pounds in cow weight and 100
pounds in calf weight Main-
tenance of such high cow num-
hers would also require a 75 per
cent increase in supplemental
feeding
"When forage production is re-
duced to 30 percent, a rancher
probably won't he able to main-
tain normal cow and calf weights
with a reduction in cow num-
bers." Maddox warns "But he
might be able to produce calves
that are 20 percent lighter in
weaning weights from cows that
are eight to 10 percent lighter if
cow numbers are reduced to 38
percent of normal and supple-
mental feeding is increased by
150 percent ."
Weaning 240 pound calves at
five months off of 800 pound cows
should allow continuing stocking
rates at G3 percent of normal
with 30 percent of normal forage
production, if supplemental feed-
ing is increased by 220 percent.
