We're in the same predicament here in Upper Northeast TN. Had a hard freeze (8 degrees F) around Easter and it killed everything that was sprouting. Then we went into a drought that has lasted for months. Add to that the hottest and dryest summer in over 118 years and it all ends in one big shortage of everything. No gardens, no fruit, no grass, and very little water. Many farmers have only managed to mow the hay one time. Others have just done the second mowing and they've come up short. My sister has six deer that come to drink from her bird bath. I live in a small town and the bear have been coming to town, looking for food, every since they came out of hibernation. There is a large apple tree on my property where the deer come every year to feast, there are no apples for them, but they still sleep in the corner of my yard under that tree. A little after dark, they come down to the house and eat the squirrel corn and birdseed and drink from the birdbath. They're even eating loaf bread and watermelon rinds. It's such a sad sight watching everything search for food and water. I wish I knew where you could get some hay for your cattle but, I'm sorry to say, I have no idea. If I hear of anything, I'll post it here. Here's wishing you success.
