[QUOTE="marksmu, post: 738848, member: 9219"] I have never been to the barn before to buy...watched a few times, but never bought. It goes to fast for me since I dont generally know what Im looking at. I planted more Rye this year than I needed as an experiment in wintering without any hay. It worked out pretty well, but now that we FINALLY got a week without rain - I can see that I am going to have way more grass than I need for the spring/summer. Before this week I was wondering if it was ever gonna stop raining. I have been looking for some private treaty light weights, but cant find more than 1 or 2 for sale at reasonable prices. I think I am going to goto the barn, and take a friend who buys frequently and just roll the dice on a uniform group of lightweights. The way I see it, is I'll buy em, bring em home, work em, tag em, and sequester them for a couple weeks...if things look good after 2 weeks, Im turning them in with the rest. I figure a best it goes really well, and I make a few bucks and not have to mow....at worst, I lose a few, and end up taking the rest back to the barn....either way I learned something. I just hope that I learn without losing anything. Im just getting started and I am not quitting my day job, so I can afford to lose, but I really care for the animals that I bring onto my place, and I really want to do well. The long term goal is to have a retirement herd....I may go next week if I cant find anything before then. [/QUOTE]
