7/12 - One field is baled, the other is cut. It is supposed to be dry overnight tonight, so they will continue to dry out. Tomorrow, after their regular ranch work, the crew will come to pick up bales and put them in the barn for us. We have rented a trailer. Jeff stacked all the old hay (200 bales) in the front of the hay loft where we will use it first this fall. He is moving the dusty and broken hay out to the feeders in the corrals and loafing sheds. The horses probably won't be very interested in it, as long as they have access to the good grass. But as long as it doesn't rain it will keep out there. And that in the loafing sheds will stay dry even if it does rain a little.
7/14 - We got the baled hay in last night. There were sprinkles, but I don't think enough moisture to cause damage. There were 635 bales - give or take - so that is wonderful! The hay that has been cut and is still lying in the field got a little wet as well. Time will tell if they will be over this morning to bale it. Storms are supposed to roll in here today at noon.
