I pay $60 per 5x5. That’a average. We had plenty of rain here last year, plenty of hay on the market.

We had a huge pipeline company pull eminent domain straight through the middle of our property. In the contract, they are planting “Texas Tough” Bermuda mix, We have no choice, but they have been dragging their feet on getting it in the ground. We are now looking at the middle or close to the...

My local guy, Lockhart Tx, 5×6 Coastal Bluestem mixed, net wrapped, heavy, unfertilized, you pick up, $70. And he brought this in from the Port Aransas area. The only other stuff local is $80-$100 4x5 and weighs almost half as much, I have to feed (2) 4x5 to every (1) 5X6. I am still feeding...

My soil was pretty hard but Monday brod cast oats over some pastures before the rain hit. Got 1.7" of slow drizzle rain and the top soils softened. After that seeded everywhere I had open ground, around all senderos, roads, fenclines, around all mesquites, anywhere the sun had pushed away the...

Fehner and Sons in Gonzales Texas they have people to drive all the way up from the valley to buy their feed here

Our 20% cubes have gone up to $8.10 a bag and corn has gone up to $6 a bag.

Good advice. All mine are bred, I was trying to sell in pairs or just the calves in spring but you got me thinking. The calves on the ground now are going to have to go as well as a few of the older cows that won't earn the winter feed.

If we don't get ANY green grass and I don't get a miracle feed source by March then I will have to sell most.

I have a lot of Mesquite s on my place and I was on a Mesquite eradication mission for a while. I just got into the bee business this last year and Mesquite pollen makes darn good honey so I stopped cutting them down.

I can't find any info on oak, that's why I am asking. If it's just roughage then the only benifit would be energy?

On the text above steers fed mesquite gave a $.32 increase over ones fed silage

Mesquite as a Cattle Feed Mesquite might serve as a roughage with little nutritional value, or as an energy cattle feed. Use as a roughage source is the more simple function, but use as a total energy feed is the more beneficial, In the latter case, feed grains would not have to be purchased...

The only one I can find that is decent is mesquite, which is on my property, there is a company giving away tons of oak saw dust as cattle feed but I can't find much on that.

I read about people feeding sawdust, but it doesn't say how to break it down, also had a guy in the 50's that fed shredded news paper during the drought. Anyone done this and if so how to do it so the cattle can break it down and get the nutrients?

The only thing green on my place are the weeds and mesquites. This is along my creek. A round bale is lasting me half the time it was before, now it's all they have. I am feeding the hay I still have feom 2 years ago. Even where the septic tank empties out is dead..

During that drought Caldwell county was dead in the center. When I came out here, old man that's been out here about 50 years told me, " just so you know, Caldwell County is cursed when it comes to rain" said he was told that when he moved here, funny I have been watching go around us all year...

Yeah I remember $150 bales. The milo was cool when dove season came around, first year we had birds all over the property. I am still buying 5×6 coastal bluestem mix for $70 from Port Aransas right now as many as I can afford. I figure if this last I will be glad I did. I really don't want to...

If I can hold on, people sell and prices skyrocket when restocking happens..... that would help me recover losses from the last few years.

These are some of the prices being charged local. You can get cheaper, but pretty far away(hours). The milo price is outrageous considering it's half waste with the stalks poems by Mirabai
