Drought impacts New Mexico Hereford breeder
“It’s about as bad as I can ever remember.”
That’s how rancher Cliff Copeland of Nara Visa, New Mexico describes drought conditions in the Southern Plains. In an interview during a recent Hereford Media Event, Copeland told us they’ve only received 2.5 inches of rain since last September and are facing some tough decisions with their commercial cow herd in coming weeks.
Copeland is also a director of the American Hereford Association. But while our drought discussion was somewhat depressing, Copeland’s enthusiasm for the Hereford breed is certainly not.
