Hay is for Horses!



Every year, we go through this big hassle trying to get enough hay over the winter for our horses. Everyone seems to be using the big round bales now, but we have no way to handle those big bales. Southern States has hay, but charges an extra dollar or two per bale, which adds up to quite a bit over time. We finally found a place close to our farm to get square bales from. It's maybe five miles up the road and it's really nice hay. Nice hay = happy horses.

The guy cut and baled the hay, then left it in the field for us to get, which saves us a few cents a bale. Scott and I brought in 300 bales in two days and, for the first time, had some extra help in the form of our oldest son, Tucker. We just finished getting our last load yesterday evening, and I must say that Tucker really made things easier on us. Usually it's just Scott and I lugging those hay bales, but with Tucker, we were able to work a lot faster. I stacked the bales in piles in the field, while Scott tossed them up to Tucker to stack on the truck and trailer. Wow, in a couple years when Dylan gets older, I'll just stay home and let them get the hay!

One cool kid!


Yay! Last load out!
