I got some hay delivered today... different hay guy as my last hay guy doesn't text me back :/ But this guy was so nice and so personable, apparently he did business with my old neighbor who had the sheep and the man across the road (we asked him to come over and help because his truck got stuck in the snow) was his Ag Mechanics teacher in high school some 20 or 30 yrs ago and they remembered each other! What are the odds? Anyway, it is 50 bales of 2nd cutting orchardgrass hay (really soft, pretty green stuff!), 65 lbs each. Such a great deal I got on the hay, I'm so excited. Definitely more than I will be needing, but it's good to know I won't have to worry about getting another shipment of hay out when I'm running short again.
Back when my old ag teacher was starting out he went to a conference in Kansas City. He got talking to somebody in the line for lunch. It ended up being the ag teacher from the next town over!
Finally decided on a final ration. It is only 14.4% protein, but should work well enough. It has corn, ddg, sbm, limestone, and minerals in it. I'm mixing 20 lbs at a time which should last me around 4 days.
