Same issues here. I can rent more hayland than I could possibly roll hay on. Many of the farms here have not had cattle on them for a while so the fences are terrible.Caustic Burno":948yznhu said:houstoncutter":948yznhu said:Yea, CB with no cows to eat it , I got grass out the wazoo .

I know that's right. I have 12 resident girl's were 37 used to be. There is not near as many cow's in Tyler county either, look at Crockett used to run close to 3,000 head every tuesday now they are lucky to hit 600.
Have only picked up a few opportunity girl's this year, just hasn't been the quality going through the barn this year.
Had a fellow stop by and ask if I still had my hay equipment, said he couldn't find anybody to bale his place since he sold out. Problem is there are more hayfield's than cow's to eat it.

We missed yet another opportunity. Rain pizzed out as it got near and the "regroup" went well north of us....missed out on all of the opportunities the week before on rain....even have a hole where the house used to stand. You know how those are supposed to attract water.Caustic Burno":93o9nnvy said:Grass belly deep on the cow's it rain's every couple of day's like it used to.

Isn't everyone there getting rich plowing up sod to grow corn and beans?
tripleBfarms":13rk0cyu said:They are down here. Lots of hillsides and cattle farms around here with corn on them. I'm thinking about doing the same. People are paying $150-$175 an acre for cash rent for most of it.Stocker Steve":13rk0cyu said:Isn't everyone there getting rich plowing up sod to grow corn and beans?

1st cutting bahia/coastal mix was $55 for 4x5 right up the road from me. He sold it all I believe.
Still seeing some people trying to sell small sq bales for $10 each too.
Plenty of it around tho.
I have better grass than the last 2 years but not belly deep, tho has more to do with my soil than moisture. Still we could use some more rain. Last rain here was a week ago and it came down hard and fast and didn't last more than 30 minutes.
