[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1176701, member: 22072"] We've had droughts 1980, 1995, 2001, 2005-6, 2011-12.(i know i'm missing a year or two)..Between, plenty of rain. 05 and 11 were the worst years. But, if you prepare you can struggle though it. We now keep 2 years of hay on hand. This year, we have 3 years of hay. Going to build a hay barn this winter to keep reserves in. Right now we have hay for sale at 39 a 1200 pound roll.....in Jan, it will go up. . In 2011, we weaned in August and didnt have anything over 500..Most were 400 and under. And, they sold for almost nothing because no one could feed them. [/QUOTE]
