Yay! All the hay that will feed my flock until next June has arrived safely at the farm. It is such a relief to have it delivered and stacked high. My barn is filled to the ceiling with beautiful bales of oat and orchard/alfalfa hays. There is very little room for the storage of anything else or much movement in the hallway but it doesn’t matter. There comes a feeling of security with all that feed there. It feels safe.
In fact I got so many bales this year ( 170) because of the new sheep that not all of it fit inside the barn even with the 12′ high stacks. Some bales are left outside for now to be feed out first. Hopefully before any rain shows up. I feel confident that I can do this since it will only be the end of August by the time the outside stack is eaten.
