[QUOTE="Suzie Q, post: 841210, member: 14334"] During the drought we have endured since being here we were told by all our mentors and anyone else that put there opinion in that as long as we had water we should not sell our herd. If it is one thing this property has it is water. So we did keep the herd. They lost a hell of a lot of weight. We eeked out our round bales to keep them alive. We put some on grain in the end. One by one people in the district lost their water. Their bores dried up. One by one they sold their entire herds. Then when it did rain, those of ours on grass only fattened up just as quickly as those on grain and we have not fed grain since. Since then we bought a round baler and have enough round bales that I can feed as many as I want instead of one every now and then like I did through that drought. People can't believe that we don't sell our round bales. I don't because I like being able to feed out 10 at a time whenever I wish. It is a luxury that I covet. [/QUOTE]
