Thanks for that post. Have you been to the buying/selling quality hay class?

 

[greybeard]

No, but will this year. The classes vary from year to year, and they are pretty informal. Last one I went to was on vaccinations of beef cattle. I intend to go to the calving class, the hay, the brush control , parasite control, and the toxic plants class. I'll skip the barbed wire fence class--after 40 years, I think I got that down pat by now.

I wish I had a car that got about 100 mpg...it's a little bit of a drive for you isn't it?

98 miles one way, but I usually make several trips up that way each season anyway for feed and herbicide. We don't really have much in the way of a good feed mill close by--and it gets me away from the place for a day--which I need.
