I found out that my alfalfa grower plowed under his 1200 acres of alfalfa due to 3 years of drought, therefore he can't get anymore irrigation water for this year. Hay prices just jumped up to the stratosphere. While the prices for all livestock is dropping like a rock. So, I just sold 4 mares and their foals. They just left for Canada this morning in a 25 horse rig. They have tons of GREEN grass up there now. I will miss my girls. I think that another 8 mares may be sold to a ranch in Texas, will know soon.
