[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1768807, member: 38220"] Grass hay was a bust around here this year. I usually buy around 70 tons from the neighbors out of their meadow a mile away. It didn't get tall enough to cut. My little meadow the brome got maybe 10" tall and was a third of normal production even under irrigation. Millet in the area didn't make anything either. Alfalfa is the only game in town. Pastures maybe grew 50% of normal. Happy to have alfalfa, but it is too good of feed for other than a winter supplement and about half the ration during calving. Next spring will have to feed more alfalfa during calving, which seems to contribute to more scours. Maybe should find some straw and just leave a couple bales out all the time free choice so cows can get the dry matter bulk. [/QUOTE]
