And by the way, we haven't even sold a round bail this year. I gave a few to a couple of my starving friends. If we were to sell some it would have to be WELL OVER $80 a bail or we would just be making ourselves broke and hungry. I'd rather work hard and put up a lot of hay and have money in my pocket to take care of my family than give hay away and be hungry and not have anything to feed my cows in the winter time. If someone wants to complain about the price, go ahead and bail your own hay and I'll keep my hay in the barn and raise more cattle. If you want fat cows it costs money.

We've got close to 400 acres of pasture with over 200 cows, over 100 yearlings, probly 25 bulls, and a few horses. Got one big coastal field and the rest is Tifton 85 and Jiggs. It takes a sh*t load of chicken sh*t and way more rain than we've gotten so far this year to make grass grow on our little dry sand hill. A field that we normaly make close to 100 bails in one cutting has made 2 1/2 this year. Supply and demand is a b*tch but it's the cold hard truth.

Some people call it damage... I call it hog sign.
