HAY delima

This past fall I bought some hay.

It was a good deal.

Why they even delivered it

from Touchet, Washington!

I bought 3 ton.

I was told that they hay got bleached, but it was still good hay.

Then there was some green stuff too.

And oh "she is feeding it to her SHOW HORSES!"

I started to feed it this winter.

The light colored bales looked like straw!

Were very weedy.

and Star turned her nose up at them.

Libby she eats everything so I really could not tell by her,

except she got diarrhea.

Then I broke into some of the green bales

MOLD!

Every green bale had some mold in it.

Star: "Where is all our food going?"

Libby: "I don't know. I am getting pretty worried though."

 Libby: "Those dang neighbor cows better not get it!

or there will be war!"

I did feed about a bale and a half to the cows.

But when I did that, for the next two days,

they ran over to the fence when I went out to feed.

I felt so bad for them.

So I put it on Craig's list.

46 bales of hay for $200.00.

It was snatched up in less than two hours!

I did replace the hay

with a lot better stuff,

that Star loves, and does not give Libby diarrhea.

Dang it! I hate when people LIE!

(She will not return phone calls!)

What the HAY?

This years hay that is in my barn, is TERRIBLE!

It seems that every year, 

the hay I get is worse and worse!

I do not feed alfalfa.

This hay came out of Touchet Washington.

It is full of weeds.

The pale bales are suppose to be sun bleached

but they are more weeds than anything.

And the green bales are on the moldy side.

(I got two ton of 'bleached' hay, and one ton of good green hay)

So feeding is wasting alot of hay.

This last bale of hay,

has the weeds that grow rampant in my pasture.

And I PAID for this crap!

 The photo below is all weeds from the morning feed.

The only good part was:

Libby and Star did not eat the weeds,

and it did have some alfalfa in it.

The bale before this last one,

gave Star and Libby the scoots.

So I fed that to the neighbors cows.

A Whole Freekin Bale!

And when I did that,

BOY OH BOY!

Star charged the fence,

and Libby bucked and rared!

Neither one liked that the "neighbors" were eating their food!

(And of course I did not have my camera to photograph the incident.)

I now have a shadow when I feed.

Star was totally scared of my wheelbarrow when I would go out to feed.

So I let her get closer to it,

Then I let her eat from it.

Now she follows me around.
