[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 531233, member: 7509"] You are not alone. I bought some hay from a neighbor today - April 26th and pastures are at least one week and with the weather forecast, probably two weeks (MAY 10th!) from being able to support the cows. Trees just barely starting to bud. Right now it is 39 deg F outside with a 20 mph wind most of the day today. Their daily hay consumption seems to have increased dramatically now that all calves are on the ground - actually jumping around. No corn in the ground. Only a few oats planted in the county. Be thankful you are able to roll some hay - we may need it here. I am thankful for a successful calving season (= the girls did not need help from me) even though the calves seemed very large this year. Actually they probably had a cow/heifer meeting and said "girls, this guy is not likely to be much help..." Just not sure if will have enough pasture the way things are going with the weather.
