We had what I thought was a good rain only to find out we got .15 so add that to the .26 and the .24 weeee the past 2 weeks we have gotten a tick over half an inch LOLOLOL
ONly good thing is we are close to Colorado and Kansas so the prospect for getting hay is good. Too bad I dont have a storage area.....

Do you wake up every morning with a red backside or does somebody pee in your cheerios and make you irritable? :roll: Nobody was saying they were better than you or more deserving of rain! George simply mentioned one of his blessings. It sure sucks when it's a horrible drought like you folks are having down in Texas. I'd know all about not having rain and I feel terrible for all you folks needing moisture. But your snarky, childish and bitter comments sure make you look small. When it doesn't rain, you can't control that, But you sure as hell can control your attitude. I sure agree with one of your comments....we are all unjust and I am at the head of that line. Here's hoping rain falls in your country soon. Take care of yourself and smile when you can. :wink:

really feel for you folk being affected by the drought. but isn't cheaper to move the cattle to the feed rather than moving feed to cattle?

I am not sure my true feelings because if the market will bear it a seller should get as much as possible, I guess.
The smart thing to do is just sell cows. No way poor grass hay is worth $180 a ton before delivery will run $250 a ton after delivery.
The thing is when all the horsey folks sell out and the cattle folks sell out, who are these hay guys going to sell to next year? And the next? A one time windfall is always not what it seems....
Edited to add: Obviously the link doesn't work but $90 per bale in field for 1000# round bales.....
