[QUOTE="R. John Johnson, post: 575378, member: 7493"] I know what you mean RR. Plenty wet down in our corner too. Don't worry, the freight assistance will save us :roll: :help: I've got less than a third of the hay I need. I'm going to wean calves late September and put them in a semi-local feed lot and then put them on the Cooks sale in early December. The cows will have to fend for themselves until snow and then they are going to a feed lot until just before calving. That frees me up to go work in Winnipeg at an engineering job which will pay for a significant amount of the cost of wintering the cows. I have enough hay to go from the start of calving until green grass. Not many can say they have that good an option. Most people I talk to have only 1/2 to 1/3 they hay they need and no option to make any more of their own. I'm afraid a lot of farms suffering financially for the last 5 years will find this the straw that breaks the camel's back. Good luck to you RR and all the rest of the Interlake cattlemen.
