[QUOTE="The Bachelor, post: 387767, member: 1336"] I understand what your saying, and I am keeping a close watch on the cows and they seem to be maintaining weight. I thought long and hard about doing this, but I would lose 1/3 of this years hay production if I don't. This drought here is the worst ever according to the weather service, and I'm really down to short term solutions. Asked around about buying early hay too, but everyones holding on to theirs, or asking so much for it I'd end up with something without even getting a kiss. :). I'm hoping for some kind of moisture by fall so I can plant some fescue and ryegrass to get through the winter with my limited raggely ol hay. Put a pencil to it, and seed will end up being a lot cheaper than buying hay..... of course assuming it rains........ That being said, I'm looking for ways to help a pasture recover quicker from my poor planning and management. Thanks already for the advice. Brad [/QUOTE]
