Granny's gone and done it again

[twisted-acres-farm]

put on over 300 miles on the truck today. Found some one with a mix of brome, chrested wheat, cattails (not a lot). They had been haying ditches and creeks and maybe the outskirts of slews. Bales were about 1500 pounds each (a tad more then the bobcat likes to handle) I got 15 of them. But the trailer could only hold 3 at a time or the bales would be up to high. We got 12 home and unloaded. That's 4 round trips for those of you with trouble mathing. Rod it going to get the other 3 bales in the am. Beth and Yuri managed to pick a fight with some thing some where I have no idea what BUT Beth has what looks like canine punctures on her nose. Vickie gave all 4 dogs bathes and then Robert used some Yak spray on iodine and triple antibiotic on Beth. As Rod and I were trying/hurrying to hopefully get all 15 bales before they left. Alas did not make it. According to the thermometer on the truck we hit 91* today forecast 3-2 days ago was for around 85*.

cost of 22,500 pound of mixed hay including gas for truck just under $1,000. Not to bad considering that pure alfapha is going for between 150 to 200 for 2,000 pounds.

Good evening Cap I see that you "scored" as well on your shopping trip.

I should be set for the winter BUT if I can get 5 to 10,000 pounds of alfapha yet at a semi-reasonable price I will take it. We are having to feed hay to the yearlings already.

All the hay is being stored in the large ex-dairy barn so out of the weather. And what vitamins and such your hay is going to loose pretty much is all gone the first year and if kept out in the elements it does loose more.

Rod and I make good traveling companions. We would both pee before leaving my farm and then get to the hay place and "irrigate" their field. And repeat for every trip.

Pretty much. Was going to go up tomorrow too, but that got changed to Friday. Will try to bring my laptop that day.
