this was the case here in Colorado a few years ago when we started having a real bad time. Hay prices went way up, quality went down. And there was a lot of whining from horse owners that they had to sell some of their horses b/c hay was so expensive. Hopefully they learned that they need to put money aside for such situations, and not blame the hay farmers for the high prices. That's sad tho, when horses go for dirt cheap like that. Then it's the slaughter industry that wins. Robyn
