Last summer, some friends helped us bring in our hay! They brought their truck and car trailer, loaded up at one field, stacked that in the loft, and then went out and brought in another load from another field. For a couple of years, they even hauled hay for us from a guy down south, never taking any money, just being good friends, I have no right to complain!
BUT, last summer was hay season from heck, and nobody was there to tell them that the big gap betwen the stacks, was supposed to be a walkway! It allows me to feed the inside pens, from the loft!
Our friends filled it in, tightly and too the ceiling!
Rather than feeding from the closer stacks, I have been carrying and feeding out those bales, to open up my walkway
I finally broke through yesterday!
Only to realize, "my boys" did not leave me enough room along the edge of the loft! (THIS, I can, have, and will, complain about, until spring!)
There is no way I can feed off the loft, into the weaner calf pen!
They will be moved soon, but for now, I use a dolly to get the bales down there, the feeder is a good foot taller than me, so I have to toss it hunk, by hunk above my head!
Oh, and why do the calves seem to think the hay on the dolly is better than the hay already in the feeder?
