Lovely to hear from a fellow Aussie.
We're on the Central Tablelands so our droughty situations must be similar. We have a lot of roos and wallabies, plus emu and wild boar. The roos take their share of of the hay, but not a lot I can do about that.
I've been 'banking' hay for a year or so now and our shed is full too. It's impossible to get lucerne cubes any longer from our local suppliers, but we make good use of the fallen loose hay from the shed floor, and our hay supplier lays out a tarp to catch anything when he delivers and unloads bales for us. I admit to feeding the best equine quality lucerne, but have also started on some teff recently.
We're currently paying $22 per bale and $18.50 respectively from a great supplier based in Forbes - this is almost half the price my local town suppliers were asking last summer. Our kids from the last drop are now almost fully weaned and are going through hay like locusts.
Did you get snow last week?
