[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1823484, member: 32879"] It is bad here in my part of Kentucky. It has been slightly below normal on temperatures this year and we continued to get rain all year, but each front seemed to be starved for moisture and rains that should have been 1/2 inch or more only delivered a trace or a tenth. It was dry last winter and very windy with little mud. It did rain some in June and that saved the hay crop from being even worse. My hay is about 2/3 of normal and no fall grazing to amount to anything. I have been feeding some hay since early October. This has really hurt the bred cow market here this fall and the weigh price just about sets the market. Calves have continued to sell well through it all. Hard to think about expanding numbers under these conditions. I kept back several heifers to get weaned and their second round of shots, thinking I could either sell them later as feeders or keep them back as cows. Unloaded a lot of cows when the prices were high. If I sell the heifers I will be low on numbers, but that may be my best move this year. [/QUOTE]
