It's SO weird! Last year on the last cutting it was so scarce for everyone up here. We got a whole 24 bales of hay from 10 acres. We ran so low in the past few weeks! Horses go through a lot of hay if they aren't on grass especially! We keep Pokie limited because she gets a grass belly.
This year, 1st cutting was late because of there haven't been enough dry days in a row to cut, dry and then bale the hay.
My son helped cut, ted and bale last week. THey put the hay in a big indoor arena because they didn't have time to put it up in the barn. Last night, he and another guy stacked while my BIL put the hay up in the loft with a hay hooker thing (it grabs 4 bales at a time and he can lay them up there).....
The barn is full. There are THREE big wagons left! and we'll get at least another 1 or 2 cuttings this year!
