A convoy of 13 trucks have travelled more than 2,000 kilometres to haul 1,200 bales of donated livestock feed to Western Australia's parched Murchison region.

While they delivered hay, the trucks also brought much-needed cheer and support to pastoralists in the Murchison who are battling one of the worst droughts in living memory.

The hay was donated by farmers in the Esperance and Wandering regions and the convoy was coordinated by the aid group Farmers Across Borders — hay from WA.

The hay will be distributed among pastoralists and fed out to the livestock remaining in the region.

For some families like the Seivwrights at Glen Station near Cue, it has been four years since they recorded enough rain to grow feed for their cattle.

Morrie Seivwright grew up on Glen, a station that had been in his family for three generations.

Last year the family made the heart-wrenching decision to de-stock the property, for the first time in the station's history.

They mustered and sold most of their cattle, and have just 25 breeders left in a herd of about 40.

"Without a doubt, this is the worst it has ever been in at least 40 years that I can recall," Mr Seivwright said.

"We've had several half-decent summers, but we haven't had a winter since 2000."

Mr Seivwright said rain that did fall last year came in small amounts, and not enough to grow any substantial feed.

Even trees and shrubs were starting to die.

"In 2018 we had 21 rain event days, and they averaged 9 millimetres a rain event," he said.

"We're not going to grow anything on that. We've got no grass whatsoever — it's pretty desperate."

Mr Seivwright said the cattle were in remarkably good condition given the dry conditions, but he was concerned how long they could go on for.

The dry conditions hit at a time when Glen Station, and other traditional sheep stations, were forced to shift from sheep production to cattle, due to relentless and repeated wild dog attacks on small stock.

Many stations in the Murchison have reduced stock numbers or de-stocked entirely.

The Jones family own Boogardie and Murrum Stations in the shires of Mount Magnet and Yalgoo, and have a long history of sheep and wool production.

Wild dog attacks have prevented the family from running sheep on Boogardie for some years, and their mob of sheep on Murrum Station were battling the dry conditions and wild dogs.

"It is definitely dry. Last year we shore just under 4,000 sheep, this year we shore 2,300 and we've got no lambs because of the dogs," Paul Jones said.

"The sheep are older because we haven't been able to breed some stock to take their place.

"Breaking rains generally start around March/April, and you need two inches [50mm of rain] to get a germination in to get a start for a good winter.

"As long as you get that germination, then it doesn't need a lot to keep things progressing to a good season.

"It would be good to look forward to a rain-bearing depression off a cyclone or some sort of good general rain across the state."

Both pastoralists said the hay would bring them relief and some time to keep stock in condition while they waited for the breaking rain.

"These very kind people, and the organisations, I extend my deepest gratitude. It will give us a bit of breathing space if we can get some early rain in early winter," Mr Seivwright said.

Volunteer truckie and Esperance farmer Gavin Egan drove one of the road trains loaded with hay to Challa Station near Mount Magnet.

"You never like to see anyone doing it tough, and if we can help out a bit by bringing a bit of the enthusiasm of the people that have been good enough to donate the hay and make the people up here feel better and feed a few cows while we're at it, well it's all good," he said.

"Everyone's so proud, on the two-way people are saying 'Where's the hay going?'. They find out and say 'Well done, true Aussie spirit' and all that sort of stuff.
