Our neighbor so...I think it's the same everywhere. Our neighbor sold us 8 tons from his last (and only second) cutting and didn't increase his prices to us even though his hay production this year is way down because of our crappy weather and his gas prices to harvest it is way up. So he's not likely making a profit. And now he has to cut extremely late corn that I am guessing is not as productive as it should be. I am just glad we have our 16 tons of hay for the winter now.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914479337992538262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115388723905972966.post-57075270523739224162008-09-09T16:50:00.000-07:002008-09-09T16:50:00.000-07:00We have the same problem here, Donna - more sheep ...We have the same problem here, Donna - more sheep than buyers and with hay prices soaring, just can't keep them. Because sales are so slow, I doubt if I do any breeding this year either...the freezer can only hold so much, although if I do have some slaughtered, I'm giving some "samples" to local upscale restaurants. If I don't promote grass-fed Shetland lamb here, no one will and the churros will have it all. ;)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.com
