Steve Densmore, cattle manager at Circle X Angus Ranch in Brazos and Robertson counties, Texas, walks along the rim of a bone-dry stock tank, one of many on the sprawling 13,000-acre cow-calf operation in southeast central Texas Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2011. The ranch has sold over one-third of it's stock and Densmore has been reduced to supplying water to the remaining cattle from his house through a hose that fills a makeshift gully he dug out on the ranch. "It's terrible," he says of this summer's drought. "We can't take another one like this." (AP Photo/Bryan-College Station Eagle, Dave McDermand)
