[QUOTE="rocfarm, post: 1851971, member: 42715"] Because it didn’t rain from July to October last year. I destocked instead of buying hay. Had around 12000 lbs that would have grown to about 15000 by now. Wasn’t sure I’d get spring rains and didn’t want to try to feed through it. I sold my heavy bull and heaviest cows, along with one that lost her calf. Kept the smaller more productive ones. Was thinking about restocking if we had a good spring green up, but at 1500 to 2000 for a bred cow, I’ll pass. Not in the mood to risk 6000 to 10000 dollars right now, and the forecast is for La Niña to start again by August. Figure I’ll just let my place recover, keep all my heifers, and think on the bull for the future. Like I said in my other thread, I’m supposed to discuss about getting a Wagyu bull in July, but I’m 50/50 on that one. We’ll see. Here’s a pic of the stockpile I had going into October. A 10” rain in October saved the winter grazing this past year. Got lucky. [/QUOTE]
