[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 693571, member: 3937"] These droughts are regional across North America every year. We've been in severe drought the last three years this year it rained. We were better of because plenty of hay was available within around 120 miles or so. The highest I paid was $120 per ton for good mixed hay. Your situation is worse. I realize the distance, there will be an abundance of good hay in the 70-80 $ range. Wish we could get it there. There is no simple answer. I sold off 1/3 of the cow herd [wish I had them back] I think I did the right thing by cutting back on cattle. I'll save heifers and get back up there in a few years. I think you good managers will pull through, next year it will rain. :nod: [/QUOTE]
