Bailed or Rolled

Neil, if I ever baled a snake, whole of halves, I never knew it, but I sure have baled a few million grasshoppers and a few rats and mice./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I am amazed I haven't got any weeds from this stuff.

I posted some pics over in PHOTOS.

Cheers

When I was back in high school, I would spend my summers working in the hay fields. I still remember the time the one farmer who had no sense of smell. He baled up a skunk, and wondered why when he threw the bale up on the hay wagon I rolled it right off the other side. Boy, talk about a stinky bale.

Ed, do you think the cows would have turned up their noses at that bale?/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I don't know about the cows, but I sure didn't want to ride to the barn with that sucker./w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

I have a neighbor who a couple of years ago who was snake bit by a copperhead while loading hay onto the wagon. Seems that it had just been baled up and about 4 inches was sticking out and mad at the world. I also have found them dead in the hay when feeding squares to my heifers.

Something to think about,
Patrick, Who is happy to say is finished with first cutting, 600 rolls baled, hauled and stacked.

Boy, does this post bring back the memories. I used to haul hay in the summertime when I was in High School. If I remember right, I got five cents per bale. That is from the field to stacked in the barn. Talk about work! I used to do that all summer long. Remember the burlap sack wrapped around a gallon jug for drinking water? I just hauled 100 bales from the field to the barn. I ain't as young as I used to be. The round bales are handier if you have enough critters. Otherwise, square bales are still the way to go if you only have a few critters to feed. By the way, you ain't got enough money to pay me to haul hay anymore!
