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?

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.

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

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

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. 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.

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.
