Burning hay

Help Support CattleToday:

Make sure to follow up any verbal agreement in writing. It would be best to write out what he's going to do, whether just give you a lump sum of cash or he pays for x loads of hay that your source, and ask him to sign it.
 
oh just figure it up, give him the bill and see what happens. asking him to sign things and calling all these people are just going to make it a mess for you and p!ss him off. He already told you he'd take care of you, and pay you cash.

Love that.
I'll talk to him Wednesday if all goes as planned. I think he would rather pay than deal with insurance and all that bs.
I don't know, but I think insurance is hard to come by for a medical grow facility. But I know it's required now in oklahoma. So this will get resolved one way or another.

You and I think alot the same on this matter. I think he does as well.
 
You live next to a grow facility? We talking about the good kind of grow facilities? 🤪 😜

Lucky!!!! I could think of a couple ways things could be made right. Hahaha

Some of the ones I've met are sheisters. Bur many in the scene are pretty good dudes. I hope you're next to a reputable one.

I hate to see that happen. Sorry for your loss and I hope it can turn out well for you. It has happened to me a couple times, but not a total loss like your stock pile hay.

This happened yesterday.
I'm pretty hacked off about it. It's just unbelievable when it actually happens to you. Fortunately I've only 6 cow and a bull to feed this winter. But I've only got 2 bales saved at the other place. The guy that started the "controlled burn" in his burn pit 2 days ago, says he will take care of me. We will see, I guess.
Over 80 rolls up in smoke. It'll be burning for a few days still. With my hay reserves, I had planned on buying a bunch of bred cows to hold thru winter and sell late spring.

It also got 2 of his grow houses. He's much worse off than me thru this mess. Those buildings were 22k each before furnishing and setting up/finishing out.

What a damn mess!!

He's gonna pay cash. Being a grow facility they deal a lot in cash. He's already asked me what I would like him to do...

First thing I would have done is call the cops so everything is documented... This is exactly why there are cops.
Then I would have called my insurance company, also to document, but also to see if anything is covered.
And if the guy is willing to replace the hay... I would find someone with hay to sell and make sure it's what I want... and then give the seller my name and make sure he knows exactly what I want and then give the grow facility guy the contact information and tell him he has two weeks to replace my hay.
And as someone said earlier... document, document, document.

That's good advice!
Funny u said cops. The sheriff lives about 6 miles from our place out there. He was already there when I got there. Great guy!

Yes sir!
The farmer is a man of his word. Already paid at an agreed upon replacement price to include delivery.

Amazing... That's really good to hear. Something actually works for a change...

Right!?!?!

I've kind a made friends with the guy over the last year or two. Did some lawn care in exchange for running my cows over his 8 acres. Etc.

He seems like a pretty good guy. Hard to understand sometimes with the accent and all. 🤣

And like most other farms around Oklahoma. Those guys are a bit of pigs. I try to help as much as I could. But all they worry about is production. Consequently, they make messes. And they are really good at it!
