Plenty of hay has been transported into western South Dakota from North Dakota. One rancher stated that he began hauling hay on June 1 because grazing was limited, and he didn’t want to overgraze his pastures. To manage costs, he intended to reduce the number of cattle that he will keep through the winter and wean his calves earlier. KELOLAND (Sioux Falls, S.D.), Aug 13, 2024
