[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 958516, member: 3162"] All of which just makes me :mad: Tire kickers wanting to buy hay and they always want me to take a loss on it when they want to buy. Lock the gates and go home. Good hay is expensive to grow. Fertilizer is expensive. Healthy cows calving in less than a year's time is profitable. Feeding trash and spending money on supplement (even grain) just does not compute in my narrow mind. If I had to feed the trash hay described here, I'd just quit. I have endured the droughts and still ended the year in the black. If someone had some good genetics and did not want to sell out completely, I can understand getting by with juicing. There are times there are no other alternatives. If that hay is that low in content, why even bale it? Why buy something for $40 which is junk and spend money trying to make it work? Why not just buy good hay? [/QUOTE]
