Average 70 to 75 through the day and lows 50 to 55 during the night for the last few days and supposed to last through next week. Normally this time of the year it should have highs of 40 to 45 degrees and lows average mid twenties down to single digits.

The last several days had been sunny and pleasant blue bird weather. Starting to get behind on rain fall. When it dose rain there’s not much, a lot of time only a 1/2 inch. Could possibly be looking at another drought summer. That might drop cattle prices slightly here but because of the price of cattle I am sure IF a drought hit here or any other part of the U.S.buyers would be more than willing to pay trucking fees and travel where ever the drought was to hit.

Weather here is very unpredictable it seems like to me over the last few years. Most farmers don’t have barns to stack hay in around here on average so hay doesn’t keep as well sitting on the edges of the fields it was cut on. If we do have another drought summer a lot of cattlemen her could find themselves in a jam.

Do they get ''brain worm'' or is it the winter weather that is tough on them? Good for you letting them have a bite of hay.
Two and four legged predators and in late winter, ticks kill quite a few.
 
So the moose are not the pain that the elk are for @Silver ? I thought perhaps they were as much a nuisance as the elk were getting into and destroying the hay in the hay yards... Like the white tail deer are here...
We have that chronic wasting disease in the deer here (CRD) and alot of that is attributed to the over population and inbreeding over the years with too crowded conditions.

No, moose can make a bit of a mess but they tend to run in groups of 2 (cow calf pair ) or maybe a couple of pairs. One or two hundred elk is just a wrecking ball. We fence them out of our bale yards, so most elk damage is to fences and standing hay / pastures.
