Our hay grower flaked on us big time.

Well that just plain sucks, I'm really sorry to hear that. That's a lot of stress and like SMaxwell said, you do have a lot of mouths to feed. A few weeks ago we were really in a bind when my husbands truck was totaled by someone who ran a red light. Long story short the insurance companies were big jerks about everything and wouldn't give us a replacement truck in the meantime. We have all of our orchard grass purched for the year up north and drive up and bring it home 25-30 bales at a time, which lasts us awhile with 8 goats. We weren't going to drive the distance north for a few bales and were forced to go to the feed store and bring home 2 bales at a time, wrapped in a tarp inside of my rig. They wanted $22 a bale for good orchard grass when we pay $5-$7.50 depending on the cutting. You have everything all planned out and do your part and then someone else screws it all up. I'm sorry and hope you run across a good deal for your goats.
