Yahoo! News: To match feature TEXAS/DROUGHT CATTLE

Summary: p Frates Seeligson puts out feed for his cattle at his ranch in Pandora, Texas March 4, 2009. Seeligson recalls when his ranch last saw rain: September of last year. That was around the time he took on an extra 200 cows to help a farmer whose fields were ravaged by Hurricane Ike. The worst drought on record in this parched part of south-central Texas means his withered land can hardly support his own dwindling herds. Meanwhile, the worsening recession means that low-priced hamburger meat is replacing high-priced steak on American shopping lists, driving down beef prices.
