Just in from Alberta Canada.....1600 pound bale of Alfalfa....this is the biggest bale I’ve evah seen. Now to unload it by hand ....one flake at a time......

Thats about all a guy can find out west anymore. We feed 15 to 20 of them a day at work right now.

I'm still hoping you'll be feeding two less horses a day here within the next year, I really want a pair of Mustangs.


How did you load that bale in the bed of a pickup without dinging up the truck?

That will last us 80 days...lol...just 7 pregnant sheep.

We still bale rounds here, but its getting really hard to find one not square baled if you have to buy hay. Looks like nice alfalfa though, whats hay worth in your neck of the woods Ness? Its going for about 120-150 a ton here for alfalfa.

Starting to get common here when a large farmer has an outfit do the harvesting.

Round bales are the most common yet, but when they have to haul it, what your showing g is preferable.

Interesting info.

The guy had a machine with 3 spears .....stuck it in the bale and lowered it into the truck....real slick set up.

That hay does look like it's nice quality. My family still does round bales.

1600 pounds ...260.00.....New England area can’t grow it like that Alberta stuff...it’s. 3x4 x8

And the smell will knock you Ovah !

Love the smell of cutting/baling alfalfa . There should be a perfume made from that extract

200 a ton delivered but i buy in 3000 ton lots.

Why unload it a flake at a time?

Run a chain around it and tie off to the bottom of a good soild post.

I agree !

I don't think you could find a round bale within 500 miles of me.

We have to bring it around the back of the house....can’t drive back there...to get to the sheep area....just a Hobby Farm yah know.

Is that railed in ?

Here the round bales are layed end to end at the edge of the field or along the barn and wrapped with plastic until needed.

Real common.

We’re getting some Colorado Second cut next week from the same guy ...but a 3x3 bale. Hay up this way is getting scarce and 10.00 per 35 pound bale. All because of the drought.
