Prices not that good?

What is the opportunity cost you are giving up of
good second cut hay this year given the mess in the
US with $200/ton for regular hay not that far over the
line?
A colder more traditional winter might make it a
tougher go too. Not saying you are wrong - after all
my saying we ran a few fall calvers got this discussion
started. I always like to look at both sides of
everything though.

Thanks Kato... all the hay we can get up here for 3 cents per lb delivered... I don't even think that a guy needs 2nd cut... good quality 1st cut will work too... We have selected for very easy doing cows over the years and have not focused on milk production... if certain cows get thin pull them or wean the pair... but for the sake of a few cows you don't need to wean the whole herd.. our cows start calving plus minus 1st of May...
