[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1739609, member: 8359"] I can feel the pain of your situation. I never lived where you are where there's only one cutting...with possibility of no rain and then price gouging on top of that. Round Hay can be found for $35 to 60 dollars here...and the really good stuff, expensive is $80. for a 4x5.5ish. What you are describing, your location high desert...it makes me feel like the only solution is to run just what the land can support alone (as close to year round grazing, with what hay you can put up yourself). Might be 1 cow per 20 to 40 acres. I hope you don't abandon your cattle dream completely. Cattle are beautiful on every piece of available land, keeps you in Ag property w/ tax exemption too.
