Where in South Central Texas are you? I grew up in Corpus Christi, lived Northeast of Waco for five years and then, after 21 years of traveling around am living in Abilene.

I have relatives that live in that area. One of them was working for the Victoria Police Department last time I heard. Is the Mikeska Brothers Barbecue place still open over in Columbus? Seems like they made the best you could get. If I remember right Rudy Mikeska in Taylor, Jerry Mikeska in Columbus, and Maurice Mikeska in Temple. A lot of history in Galveston Island. My grandparents on my father's side came to the US and landed at Galveston Island. There were a lot of immigrants that came into the US there.

BCnT you got the right idea,go with it.most northern states do not bale same GRASS hay as we do.i have cut 25 acres starting at 5 am and started baling at 3 pm to keep it from getting to dry ( all brown). 110 air temp and ground at 95 ,does not take long for costal burmuda to dry and keep that pea green color,had 13.5 protein at test.use fertilizer and go 30 days from fertilizer day and CUT ( with or with out rain) will work out great. might look like thin cutting but hay will be top notch for cows and over proteined for horses that get grained (in texas ). my two cents joe
