Driving In Circles ....

Round Bales On The Trailer!

It's time to haul hay again at Wild Rose Farm.  We've been driving in circles to pick up round bales of hay this last week.  This final group of bales were made just before a rain last week, so here we are picking them up today ....
We like to get the hay in before they get any weather on them, but the farmers out there know that sometimes it's all you can do to just get bales made before a rain!  We've gotten about half of what we'll need for the next year.  More to come .....

Fencing Out Glenda ....

We rigged up this wall of fence panels to keep the marauding donkey out!  There she is up behind the barn .... all of the fresh grass and she will invariably put the munch on the 1st cutting round bales. She just reaches over the panels if they're on the ground.  I suppose it tastes different and also has slightly different minerals, etc., but it's no fun trying to extract & spike a bale in January that's been severely nibbled ..... :)
