I like it even better when we are done, it's rewarding! Glad you got your hay-day done!aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731529798233954353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-83368290054166611162010-09-05T20:27:26.760-06:002010-09-05T20:27:26.760-06:00That's a lot of work.

I used to pick up hay occasionally with the help of my husband and son, but somebody always got hurt.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-85012368685603367712010-09-05T12:42:03.417-06:002010-09-05T12:42:03.417-06:00Nice hay elevator!

Working together makes it all seem easier.Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-24087113688106155912010-09-03T19:18:22.840-06:002010-09-03T19:18:22.840-06:00What a cool idea to grow hay in the common area.

We've been getting quotes for $6.50 - $7.50 for prairie grass hay. <br />We were able to get 125 bales from the common property. 50 of those were very light (around 40 pounds). We'll need about 100 more bales for a complete year. But, what we have will see us through 6 months or so. Plus, for the moment Doc is on pasture almost all day and Pippin is working back up to more hours out - so I'm not feeding much hay at the moment.Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-41986013206627026622010-09-03T17:44:15.909-06:002010-09-03T17:44:15.909-06:00Putting hay up is definitely heavy lifting but wha...Putting hay up is definitely heavy lifting but what a peace of mind to know you've got hay for the winter!<br /><br />$3.00 a bale is SUPER cheap for my area.
