Thank goodness my dad has a 6 acre coastal patch. We baled this wk and got 140 bales off of it. My dad lets us keep the hay as long as we pay the cost of baling and caring for it. He asked me if I wanted to sell any of it this cutting, usually we sell one round bale cutting then keep one, then sell one square bale cutting and keep one. But I told him heck no, not this year!! I'm keeping it all! My husband and I were out there picking up those 140 bales as soon as the tractor man pulled out. We had 2 square bales left in the barn before we cut, so it was a huge sigh of relief.
What is Chaffhaye? I wanted to start feeding a little alfalfa, but with 9 horses I'm spending all I can spend just feeding and shoeing them. I'm trying to get down to 6 horses, so maybe once a few have sold I'll look into it.
