I'm afraid a bunch of us are in a similiar pickle. This country has fed almost all the native hay from the last two crops, mainly due to the fact that we have had some. The irrigated has been priced out of most folks range, and we have very little dryland worth cutting.
In 2003 I was in the hay hauling business, but I wasn't near as busy as the cow haulers. In 2006 I was hauling cows, hay and water for another ranch, and we managed to shuffle everything around. For three years mind you. I hauled a batch of feed, but I probably moved near as many pounds of cows. This year it doesn't look like there will be much hay to haul; and even worse , no place to take any cows to.
The reason I mentioned ten years ago, was because it used to rain back then, sometimes, and back then this country run about forty percent more mother cows. I'd guess most of those have not been replaced, although the last decade has seen at least a ten percent increase in effiency. Interesting times, indeed.
