[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 841939, member: 5106"] If I have a winter like the last one I am either switching to summer calving or throwing in the towel. It is just too much for one person to handle and am finding it harder each year. If I do summer calve we will be breaking up some pasture and reseeding it to hay. We have had plenty of rain the last 2 years after coming off of the worst drought in our area in 50 years ,but temps have not been warm. So hay ,although plenty, is not that great and people are hording hay (rightfully so). Bales are still selling for 50-65 a bale which is outrageous when you have to feed it 7 months out of the year. This year alot ran out of hay as most had no pasture to go to until June, and they had used their reserves back in '09/1o to survive the drought so they didn't have to sell cattle for 20 cents a pound. It is a kinda dammed if you do, dammed if you don't situation. :roll: [/QUOTE]
