Since my previous post on hay prices, I've realized we are in the mid range in the $265 a ton. I just order another 7 ton for delivery in a month - in talking with the broker, he thinks this will probably be as low as it gets for the good, quality stuff. I know we hear that every year. The problem is that 250 acres in America are being developed every hour. Hay crops have been changed over to corn. More and more is being shipped over to Japan (from Eastern WA at least) for their cattle and they are willing to PAY. I'm afraid we've only just begun to see high hay prices. It won't stop me from keeping my Fjords. For those of you lucky enough to have large pastures/properties make sure you look into good pasture management techniques and adding in some good quality seed this year. The rest of us will be jealous...at least I am :-) Corinne Logan Willows Edge Farm Bothell, WA (425) 402-6781 www.willowsedgefarm.com The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
