Re: Hay
No I purchase from a local guy for over 10 yrs now. Good quality, not the cheapest guy but I have well fed horses all winter.

Re: Hay
I grew up in rural Missouri and worked a dairy farm. It was hard work shucking hay bales. Don't miss it. Glad you got some up for the winter.

Re: Hay
We used to put up square bales but now I just feed rounds. Way easier.

Re: Hay
Tell me, how do you take care of your hay over the winter? Just a city boy who wants to know.

Re: Hay
Is that grass hay and is it just for your horses or for the cows too?
We just got our winter hay for the goats last week. 40 - 75 lb. bales, not nearly impressive as your round bales. Get it from a local guy. Certified weed free grass, he sells most of his hay to the Forest Service for their horses so it has to be weed free, a few weeds wouldn't bother the goats but he's close and gives us a good price for our small amount.

Re: Hay
"Hay," RR,
Great picture of those round bales! Both your picture and JEBar's photo of the round-baled alfalfa harvest are about my favorite views of fields whenever I drive country roads. Years ago, my wife probably thought I was a little odd (she was right), but when we drove to work together in KS along those country roads, and then in later years during rural drives in WI, I used to stop alongside the road and take pictures of the bales just gathered in the fields. One late fall in KS after an early morning light snow, I remember how the field looked covered with frosted shredded wheat -- snow on the bales. I have quite a photo collection of hay bales stashed in my files. Yup, my wife surely knew that I was odd!
Thanks for this enjoyable thread about "hay"....again very nice, photos, and a lot of good comments by folk. Oh yes, you care for your horses quite well. I'm certain they are glad to be with you guys!

Re: Hay
Hay in your barn reminds me of the time I got into my grandads hay barn and had a blast tumbling down the bales from the stack. Awesome fun. Still think of it that way even though I got in huge trouble over it. If you have kids, grandkids or even nephews don't share this with them. They might decide to have some fun at your expense.
