We've had too much hay this year! Even to the extend where it has stayed on the field because that was cheaper then baling and selling it. No buyers! And no way I could send you some. I like your point of view however on us working hard and paying lots of money and them spilling it in the mud and trampling all over it! So ungrateful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961900362487178818.post-63517257314682875122008-09-22T15:25:00.000-07:002008-09-22T15:25:00.000-07:00Oh I feel bad for you.

We don't have cows this year but when we do again I am not looking forward to the cost of the hay. I love the truck and my farmer would also love to have one like that. So now cowboy and farmer can cry over that truck while they sit in their old ones that just keep on running.

I'm glad I don't have to buy hay, but I do buy chops, chopped corn for those that are not familiar with the term, and it has also skyrocketed! It is sad about people who just let their horses go to fend for themselves. And here I am buying chops for the deer! <BR/><BR/>Have a great week, Barb.

We came back via the Okanogan and had a great time. We have decided we like it up there waaaay more than Montana which has turned into Yuppieville. Our hearts were broken as we drove through Montana and saw all the progress and "growth" lots of faux cowboys from somewhere else.
