We had more than our share of snow this year. Luckily the last 3 storms pushed just south of us or we would have had another 25-30" of snow.

Elkhunter, what is the usual (normal, not-budget-busting) price of alfalfa out there?
It was 125 a ton bale this fall. We had a good year and put up 200 for the winter.
SW Kansas hay is $130 to $150 for grinding hay Dairy hay upto $250/ton. The real kicker is the 450 weight steers going for $2.37/lb and Feeders 800 lbs for $1.54/lb
Makes me wonder why anyone would ever want to get in this business lol Only perk is we eat well, right?
It was an extremely cold winter. It is still quite cold right now. Not much snow though. Still have a four inch thick block of ice in front of my porch. I have to go in and out through the basement. Been chopping that ice for a long time.
Elk how many animals are you feeding? Never saw or handled alfalfa. It is mostly timothy, or timothy-clover for horses. I miss my horses but am glad that I do not have any more.
I have lived in south Texas for 15 years and this is the coldest that I have seen. Has not reached 60 (LOL) for the past 3 days. More heating days this winter than I want to admit. Should be 70-80 this time of the year. At least the spring rains have started.
6" of the white stuff up here last night sick and tired of snow.
Ken.
Was a balmy 33 today with gusts to 40mph. Only 20 degrees below normal this week....
Still must be that global warming thing.
Little bit of snow last night. Quite cold out. Oscar stay in Georgia.
