That sounds like what my friends and neighbors did for me a couple of years ago. Had to have surgery to remove cancer at the begining of hay season. All my hay got made and anything I needed done got done. We all have good neighbors to thank for things.
I have been selling mine for $2.5 hanging wt. I have seen some going for $4.00. for total grass fed/organic. Proceesing fee is .65/lb and kill fee of $45.00 I just cut up an older cow that lost calf in to hamburger and sold it for $3.25/ pound. Sold it all.
