Staying afloat with beef production

The Range Beef Cow Symposium was held in Scottsbluff, Neb., the week of Nov. 18. 

You may be wondering what this has to do with ranching in Southeast Kansas, but the answer is more than you would think. 

Western ranchers face many of the same production problems we have in this area. 

Cattle prices have been depressed, weather has been uncooperative, and good labor is in short supply. 

If anything, the environment is even harsher out west. Ranches are measured in 640 acre sections, rather than in acres, because carrying capacities are so low.
