[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 939385, member: 17956"] I've got 40 some odd cows all but a sprinkling have calves, and 40 some odd calves I'm back grounding. The drought has hit me hard. 5 miles either way of my farm, and the grass ain't in too bad a shape (not complaining God controls the weather). My hay made about half what it normally makes. I know I have to sell. I am going to keep the best 20 cows, and even sell thier calves early. Should I go ahead, and get started, or hope for some rain. I started feeding rolls today. I can make it spring with 20, and the rolls I have. I'm gonna lose on the ones I'm bacgrounding, I've done made my peace with that. On the 20 some odd cows, and 40 some odd calves, do I want to be the first or the last in my area to sell out. I plan on squirreling away the cash to by some short breds with next year. Just wondered what others in the same situation would do. Thes 40 calves still on the cows could get a lot bigger by November. Thier mommas could eat a lot of hay by then to. [/QUOTE]
