[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 846128, member: 9"] Hate to disappoint you... :( Our producer South of here is only getting 1/3 to 1/2 his normal crop this year in spite of irrigation and fertilizing. He is not sure WE will even get our full order that we "ordered" in December last year. He recently said he is not taking any new customers this year. Not sure what we'll do if we don't get our full order... We've had several bad experiences with hay suppliers over the past 10 years. One of our "local" suppliers several years ago pushed off some very marginal hay for gouged prices that turned out to be low protein despite his claims. He lost thousands of $$ of business from us due to his misrepresentations... There is a supplier in the Lubbock area that we bought some wheat hay and alfalfa from several years ago. Think his last name was Brisco. Hay was decent at that time for our emergency purchase. Several years ago we bought some alleged "quality" bermuda from a large operation in Arkansas. The last 2 loads contained toxic herbicide residue that ultimately blinded & killed 2 of our horses and 2 or 3 of our cows, according to extensive Vet workups and lab tests. Also, several years we got a semi-load of orchard grass/alfalfa mix from Manitoba, Canada from a large farm...ended up costing LESS than another local supplier was selling us during another hay shortage.
