| 33 bales so far, and none rained on. We've still got one small field to go - hope to have it done soon. Then we'll be set for this winter. |

I'm sooooooooo envious of your hay!!! But then those bales would never fit in my barn. :- o
At first I thought, "33 bales enough for the winter?" THEN I noticed they were large round bales and the lightbulb went on. Do you leave them where they are in the field? Cover them after they are 'cured?'
Chuck is moving them now. There is a place between the road and the fence that is high and flat, and they are lined up in a looooong row. We've always tarped them after a few days - not sure about this year.
All around northern ohio yesterday they were harvesting the hay. it was really pretty and the gold fields that had been cut down were too
Lisa how many round bales do you feed a winter to how many head of sheep? Just trying to gauge my own flock and see how many I 'should' be feeding versus how many they think they need. I seem to have a lot of waste when feeding the large round bales. I usually unroll them and feed them the unrolled parts. just curious :)
Chuck and Jim finished the hay today - July 28th. Nine more round bales, so a total of 41 bales ready for the winter. That will be more than enough, even if we have heavy snow. My hope is that we will have a more "normal" winter, and we'll be able to graze the 20-25 acres of stockpiled grass we have growing on the south side of the road right now.
