[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1271714, member: 9096"] I'm on my second cut now.. not looking great.. it's green but it just doesn't want to grow.. the june heat we had stunted everything and as much water as I can pour on it doesn't change a thing.. On some places I'm doing the 4th pass through the field since June 10th, and it's hardly a foot high.. other places (with more alfalfa.. likes heat) have done well... As it stands I'm probably going to be culling hard this fall.. 3 cows for sure, perhaps 2 additional, I'd rather keep a few extra replacement heifers since there may be a market for them next year. Troubles with equipment.. I've always got something wrong.. I have a 1965 NH 282 baler, it's on it's 3rd engine, so you know it's seen a lot of hay.. I know it's history, and I'm estimating 750,000-1,000,000 bales.. When it works it works really well, and I know it well enough now I'm usually never down for more than an hour before I get it figured out. That being said.. it's 11 pm here, and hopefully it's cooled enough to make it so my hay doesn't pulverize.. Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to bale I go! [/QUOTE]
