Farmers may have to sell cattle early to reduce the size of the herd or wean calves early to lower the amount of energy cows need. Now, I don't know about you, but I prefer my cows (for lack of a better word) beefy, and I know from personal experience the more I eat the plumper I get. So with the lack of grass, can we expect to see scrawny cows this year? That just doesn't sound right.
