[QUOTE="ROCK-N-W, post: 362367, member: 5247"] Yeah I fiqured that after I reread into it. IE: NOT SMARTER THAN A FITH GRADER. There is no such thing as a 5.00 bag of feed anymore & I believe 50.00 a roll for hay won't last long either. Another rancher I know just paid $48.50 a roll and that was for a tractor trailer load. The last trailer load of hay I got was $32 ea & that was just 2 months ago. feed runs $7.68 a bag here unless you buy by the ton,which I do it's still 6.00+. Drought index here is at 700 I have had less than 1/2" this year total. and not alot last year. I was going thru herd this weekend trying to make those tough choices of who goes and who stays. Got 8 real nice replacement hiefs that we were gonna keep now thay are going , also some of the older cows but thats tough when they give you a decent calf every yearand pay those bills. I have a 17 year rold Black Angus still dropping every year,somehow she manages to miss the bus, even when my standing rule is to sell all cows when thay reach the age of 15. Go fiqure I did hook up with dieselbeef & purchase a few tons of his citrus pellots, the cows seem to like it pretty good,& $25.00 for 350lbs 1 55gal barrel ain't too bad. [/QUOTE]
