Description This year, due to the loss of thousands of acres of pasture and hay land from the flooding of Lake Manitoba, a bale of hay is literally "Prairie Gold".

Thank you for your comment. Glad you like it It has been a very stressful year but we will work it out. We had to buy hay (1st time ever) and still have some decisions to make as to how much of the herd we will sell off.

Thank you Mary-Anne for you kind comments. We bought hay (1st time ever) and still have some decisions to make as to how many cows we will sell off. It is a hard thing to do that is for sure.

I can understand that Candace, that would be sad for you both also.
Hopefully next Summer will be a lot better weather wise

I hope you'll not be suffering due to the floods

It has not been a good year Helen. We had to buy our hay this year (we have always had enough of our own). All of our hay land (320 acres) was flooded, some of it is still under water and the road to get there is still impassible. It doesn't look good for next year either as the level of the lake is still very high. We will probably be reducing the herd as we don't have enough hay to keep them all over winter.

Oh i'm sorry to hear that... can some sort of flood defences be applied?
I do hope you have a better year in '12

They are doing some diking but only where residences are in danger. We are very fortunate that where our house is the elevation is high enough not to have to worry about the water, which was luckier than some. Thank you for your kind wishes Helen.

We had to buy all of our hay this year David, as all of ours was under water (and a lot of it still is) and the road to get there is impassible.
