I'm not sure that the area that's affected by this drought has a large amount of ranching activity. I'll just speak for Nevada, but the state is very unhospitable for ranching activities because it's pretty much a desert.

Not necessarily from the Colorado River, but at least in California a great deal of state and federal water project deliveries are used for alfalfa, all of which is animal feed. According to some sources animal feed consumes half of the water in the state. https://www.comstocksmag.com/web-only/livestock-production-drinks-water-drought-stricken-california https://www.comstocksmag.com/web-only/livestock-production-d...
