May 26, 2008 Hay Hay and more Hay


We've had hay on the ground since Wednesday of last week. The rain on Friday really put a damper on things. Michael got up before 7 this morning and got out and started raking. Robbie was going to come up and start in baling behind him. The hay hadn't cured out great and was bogging down the baler and then 2 belts broke and we had to call Robbie's dad to come and help splice the belts back together. Then it got humid and the hay had even more moisture and they were having a time getting bales started. It was just one thing after another and finally by around 4pm yesterday they finished up. The goats had better appreciate all the hard work that has gone into insuring that they eat well this winter.
