Re: [RC] The hay situation - Quentin & Libby Llop

Wow. I cut my hay 2 weeks earlier and am getting half again more than I
did last year.
           Libby - just in from moving 20 tons, with another 80 tons to
move before tomorrow night when I have to give my neighbor's wagon back.
Plus the 60 tons my other neighbors (the ones that milk 2000 cows) want
us to bale...

Joel and I live on a working cattle farm.  We have cattle and raise
hay to sell.  It will take at least 750 large rolls of hay for the
cows this winter, plus another 300 square bales for the horses.   I
usually have plenty of pasture all summer, but my pasture is now
literally a dry lot.  I am having to feed the horses hay NOW....that
is unreal.  I normally start the hay in late Oct. to November.   Joel
has gotten up about 500 or so rolls for the cows, and we have calls
everyday from people wanting to buy hay...just don't have it to sell. 
We have to get in what our own cows will eat first.
 
The price of the rolls for cows has been raised $2-$3.  Fuel costs
drives most of that.
