[QUOTE="Muletrack, post: 1670370, member: 30827"] We had a dry winter, but the early summer wasn't bad and I think hay stocks are relatively high -- a lot of prevented planting went into forages that were allowed to be harvested earlier. We are dry, but can't forget how very wet it was last year. Crazy wet. The beautiful thing about Central North Dakota is this, that we only get 14-20 inches of precipitation a year, but most of that comes in the growing season. In 1991 I had to haul water to my cows for a month because two years of light snowfall dried up the dugouts. Then it started to rain and seems like it's been raining ever since. I don't buy hay, but I don't think I'll ever sell any ever again. Walt Davis (in "How To Not Go Broke Ranching") says this about the Amish -- they will sell you almost anything -- but they will never sell you hay. Don't know if that's true or not, but it makes good sense. Oh, and it's going to rain! [/QUOTE]
