[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1824100, member: 39122"] We’re very dry here in Central Arkansas as well, I believe drier than what we were last year. I was planning to sow some wheat but no point now, ground is just too hard and dry to make sowed wheat come up as well as they are calling for frost next week. I’ve been able to hold out with grass, I manage my pasture well and always have good grass even in drought, deep roots make a lot of difference when in a drought. I also weaned calves in September and moved my cows to another pasture for a month so my home pasture could catch up. I’ve moved them back home now and should have enough grass to make it to the week of thanksgiving which is always my target to start feeding hay. I’m seeing lots of pastures grazed down to dirt, they’d be money ahead to put cows in smaller area and feed hay, a cow will walk off what weight they can gain by grazing trying to find another blade of grass on some of these places.
