[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 138903, member: 2095"] Rod, Arkansas has had a drought this year. The people who normally sell hay have either baled less than normal or turned their cows in their fields and people who normally do not feed hay until now, or later if they planted winter grazing, have been feeding hay since July or August. Unless you buy up all the hay you can find NOW so that you can carry your cows all the way to April this is the time to sell; because the real operators know that most cattlemen and horse owners will pay out the wazoo before they let their animals starve and the price will keep climbing. I don't know how bad things are; but I have seen hay go to $55 a roll (normally $18-25) in late winter in bad droughts here. Commercial buyers like road builders, home builders, and strip mine reclaimers will keep buying hay as mulch to plant their grass no matter how high it gets and somebody is going to get the shaft before March.
