Oh Yes, I know all to well the hay field and working the loft stacking(which sux the most IMO)....we put up around 5,000 square bales of good hay(for horses) and round bale all the orchard grass for cattle....Loads of fun....heh heh heh

Oh yeah....especially when you think you are he-man and want to make a statement by wearing shorts and a short-sleave shirt (Guards being a rebellious teenager).
Talk about pain and discomfort.
I fucking HATED stacking. THere is nothing worse than stacking bales IMO

We do all the Alfalfa for horses, the first cut isn't too bad, but every cut after that, the stemmy shit scratches the fuck out of your arms....round bales generally will not work for horses, if it gets a bit moldy, they could colic, and we have lost a horse or two to this........
And stacking hay, whether on a trailer or in the loft is pure art, if you don't know what you're doing, it could fuck up the entire stack, and nothing is worse than re-stacking 500 bales of hay...fuck, I hated that!!!
Always alot of fun when you see a storm brewing and you kick it into overdrive, then a few hundred get wet and you walk the field turning them all on their ends...gotta luv that too!!
BUT, nothing feels better after a hard day in the field and loft, to strip off and jump in a Mountain creek to cool off....sorta makes it all worth while....<NOT>!!!!

we do square bales too. we're actually one of the only ones in the area still doing them so alot of the horse owners are coming to us for hay now. like someone said, the round bales simply are not convenient for horse owners, not only because of mold but for storage and transportation and handling reasons as well.
we don't have any alfalfa in our hay. it's predominantly timothy, tree foil and clover with a smidgeon of orchard grass. besides the timothy having gone to see already (fucking rain wouldn't let us get on to bail it two weeks ago).. it's primo shit. we put down like 3000 lb of urea this year and the shit is thick as hell. second cutting is predominantly tree foil.
we have the baler set so it's putting out 65-75lb bales.
i don't know bout y'all but i go shirtless to get a tan. doesn't really bother me at all, i think i'm immune to tiny scratches covering my stomach and nipples anymore..
and yes the fucking loft is the worse. fucking hot as fuck, come out blowing dark brown boogies out your nose.

square bales in my parts, no round at all. Very hard to find good hay fields on the northern east coast anymore, around the NJ area.

I never realized how popular it was. The only hay I pick up is the crap the rabbits throw on the floor. Messy little ladies.

LOL. I wear one glove with vaseline in it...that one's for her.
Actually, I spent 13 of the eighteen years of my childhood with no running water and a friggin' outhouse. We still own the house out in the middle of nowhere that I was born in- midwife and the whole nine yards. In 1980, my father, mother, my two older sisters, and I took a horse drawn covered wagon from NW Arkansas to Maxwell, Nebraska- back roads the whole way (My father is rather eccentric). So don't try to play the country boy part with me, tough guy.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: it's HAY time...
LMAO. I remember when my dad called a family meeting when I was about seven years old. He showed everybody how to crumple, uncrumple, and re-crumple a piece of brown grocery bag paper so it had more of a toilet paper-like texture to it. That's livin' lean. The best part of all this shit is that he's very educated- has a masters.
