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.

325 cows and a few horses on 400 acres... that mite be why need so much hay and get 2.5 rolls instead of 100... Surely that was a misprint I agree why even bother cuz 2.5 rolls won't feed 325hd very long at all just wasted time and fuel.. Jmo... Ive always felt that good fortune comes to those that help others... I'd give my last roll to my neighbor for free if he needed it and I'd go pay 100$ a roll for myself if need be... Sure Supporting my family comes first but not to the point to where I'm an a$$ about Helpin someone out... If it cost me that much to b in the cow business to where I just worked to pay for hay I guess I'd downsize my cattle... Which I did when I chose not to bale hay this year because I knew it was too dry for me to invest in baling what little grass there was... All personal preference I suppose but I prefer a less stressful life and any grown man is entitled to make his own choices whether their good or bad. Wish the best for all y'all that are struggling with the hay situation I know it's hard times
