Texas was under a extreme drought for 2 years, no hay , started raining in Sept now have had 30 inches of rain, only problem is too wet to get haying equipment in fields , now we have had a 21 degree frost with hay standing in the field. Some fields are not fenced to graze so the hay probably will be there till next spring till El Nino runs its course. How many of you are in the same boat? The good is the pastures are in such good shape from low stocking rates I should be able to get by with protein only., The bad I went from 70 cows to 10 cows and 2 bulls left on 500 acres, The ugly is you try to keep surviving and as you sell your herd off , you put that money into feed till you have nothing left, it's like a gambler with an addiction, for now at 66 years old I will start rebuilding again, like I said it's an addiction!
