[QUOTE="LauraleesFarm, post: 1025933, member: 14261"] In East TX we will get at least 2 cuttings no matter what. First cutting will be pretty good. In the worst drought year ever, *2011, we got 2 cuttings and a scrawny third. Covered a lot of acreage to get less hay after July that year, but we did have plenty. MOST of what we got was cut and baled before JUly. It was after that point that most started dispersing herds due to the drought. One guy has 125 acres and no cows. He just wants it mowed. It makes a lot of hay. Decent enough for cows. We sell some and we keep some. This year we already have more hay than we will feed. And will get at least one more cutting, probably 2. That is from OUR fields. [/QUOTE]
