Ranchers forced to sell off cattle
sep 9, 2013

If you’re driving in rural New Mexico, chances are you’ll see fewer cows.  The drought has forced ranchers to sell off herds. [over past three years]

Since last year [alone] the number of cattle in New Mexico has dropped [by] 20 percent because of the drought.
