[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1755322, member: 24947"] Well I'm going to guess that your faith in the divine is reinforced with a solid financial situation that makes losing a option. Nice place to be. In my part of Texas the damage is done with still 60 days of any chance of real relief (historically speaking) you should be prepared to fight non-stop until mid-spring. Your not just trying to save your cattle now but your land as well. You can do severe damage that takes years to repair. As far as supplementing low quality hay. It can work. Look into milo if possible over corn stalks and don't let your pencil stick you in the eye. Compare good hay. You may find good hay at 80.00 is cheaper than 50.00 stalks and supplements. Especially when labor and equipment and storage come into play. Good luck I'm out. Going to gamble on fall oats. They failed last year and I've never had oats fail two years in a row. If they get up good I'll buy back in. Going to keep a couple hundred rolls of good enough hay until i see. If oats do fail the hay will be worth enough to cover that hit. [/QUOTE]
