I know how you feel. We had 3 tenths in March, 1.4 in. in April and about 1 inch in May. Made 0.8 tons per acre of hay. Grazed cows for 32 days and back in the dry lot they went. Feeding hay and corn gluten/soy hull pellets every day now. Pasture and hay fields will crunch under you feet now. Fire danger is getting high again. Plus it's getting in the 90's now with wind almost every day. I sold 4 cows and all the fall calves a month early.

I saw some of the poorest cows at the sale barn this past Monday as I've seen in 25 years. Very hard to find hay for sale within 150 miles now. With shipping at $3 per mile and hay at $40 per roll(4x4 rolls) I think I'll sell out before jumping in that kind of deal. I've never wished for a hurricane but thinking about putting in an order for a large tropical storm tonight. Heck a good snow would be great too. You know it's getting real dry when you get excited over a heavy dew. Lets all pray!!! I hope you get rain soon too.
