[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 687013, member: 5106"] Well you have lot's to be proud of BB we would love to be here for a hundred years but with no kids I don't know how that will happen . Maybe the nieces and nephews will take an interest, but when it is our time to pack it in we will more than likely just rent or sell to our wonderful neighbors kids and grand kids. IluvABbeef I am sure it is much different around your place now a days but soon you can take over and continue your dads legacy. Some of my boys have headed your way over the years. Rustler we have been declared a disaster area ,our crops are 75-80% less than average. To give you an idea the hay field that was reseeded 2 years ago gave us almost 150 bales last year, this year we got 34 and hayed 3 weeks later. The lease land we got 299 off of last year and 46 this year (lost some acres to that bad wind storm, it just blew the swaths away). We still have the green field, which thankfully we are gradually reseeding our hay land each year, so that will help us out because if we had not worked and reseeded it we would have got nothing from it. We have been getting rain lately so that will help the pastures. Drought is horrible but so is flooding. I always feel for people when they have to go through it as well. As I work things out on paper I will still need to buy about 100 bales to tie me over even if I reduce my herd by 60% and calving in Jan presents a problem as straw is going to be hard to get .My order is ,in but dairy farmers get first serve and beef gets what ,if any is left. Went to check the cows last night and the fella that moves the herd missed one. There was a very sad looking tan steer all by himself in the field I had taken the pics, they have been move 3 more times since. So I called him up and to let him know that he has a rogue steer he needs to rescue as there is no water there for him. I guess it's hard to do a head count with that many head.. :lol2: [/QUOTE]
