[QUOTE="novatech, post: 730027, member: 5494"] I have not had to feed much hay to speak of for several years. Normally I have enough stockpiled forage to last until the clover and rye kick in. We were in drought this past year. No matter how many acres you had per cow you fed hay this past summer. Therefore there was very little to no stockpiled forage. Unusual cold and rain has set in. The normal rye, oats, and clover is not growing. Everything is mud. We are getting tremendous erosion on the slopes. Buy the time the cows finish off a bale of hay, 1 day, the mud is a foot deep around it. At this point I can see a lot of benefit to frozen or snow covered ground. Yes we will endure what ever the good Lord deals me. But I don't have to like it. We will do what we have to do but in this slop that is about all until it dries out. It flat out is not enough to fill out my day so I have resorted to belly aching on the boards. :oops: [/QUOTE]
