Severe Hay Shortage in TX due to state wide drought

Thanks for the info. The local weather report on local news is expecting La Nina to continue thru the winter. I must admit it is nice to not have the humidity and rain BUT... hay is a problem... in any form. Some are just going week by week as the fuel to go get some, plus the cost of the hay, has many in a bind for the hay budget!!! LA sent hay to TX to sell and it is a bit stemy but better than none. Horses are being fed alternative feeds to keep the nutrition up. I am between jobs and that is another issue. Jobs in TX are pretty slim. May have to work out of state again... darn, just can't seem to get into a good cycle. Many horses have been sent to auction and that is not good as it is a buyers market and there are not many buyers!!!! I am hanging on for now.... just can't send any to auction!! Did get 2 sold.. but way below last yrs low market!!

I put up and sell various types of hays... I have some grass hays as well as alfalfa hay. I'm not sure how much anyone needs but I have various sizes and types to choose from. Just contact me through ES or catch me in Chat from time to time. I am 1 hour east of St. Louis, MO. I hope this helps. just me...

Thanks for the info. Not sure which direction I will have to go. Weather is so weird.. humid as hell and NO rain!!

If you don't mind the drive time there is plenty of hay in Ohio. If you need a contact in ohio email me or call the barn at 937-536-1934. will be glad to help out if i can cowboy39

I am back in E TX. While traveling from NV to TX, I got 100+ bales of GREAT bermuda for $19 in NM and $22 in NV. Wish I had room to bring some back but was returning to TX after a 6 month job contract. Where are people getting hay? I do have an offer but have to drive 600 miles one way with lowboy gooseneck trailer a friend will loan me. It makes the price of the 60# bales about $9. Has anyone feed rice hay??? Or any other ideas....
