[QUOTE="rmcva, post: 389314, member: 5473"] We had a 5 year drought here starting in 99. We did make hay every year but dry every summer and fall. Our normal rain fall is about 40" per year In 04 we got 62" and about 20" of that fell in May. Got more rolls of hay per acre than ever before. The hay looked good but was very poor quality. Everyone had hay that cows wouldn't touch. By Feb. of 05 when that hay was being fed some folks had cows dropping like dead flies. The hay had been washed out by all the rain. Folks that didn't pay attention to the cattle lost some nice cows. They starved to death with a full belly. So when you do get around to haying ,you may want to test it. [/QUOTE]
