Hay Fever

.

The last of the three loads that we need to see us through winter!  There's nothing about this hay that we would have picked for our needs, but as we said earlier, it's not a year to be picky.  It's first cutting; we prefer second.  It has lots of alfalfa; we prefer lots of grass.  The bales are 1800 pounds.  We'd really like to see them around a thousand pounds.  Square bales - we like round.  Cost?  Well, compared to last year, we'd like to see last year's prices back again....  We can complain all we want, but we are truly happy that we have it!  The cows won't complain at all - of that, we are certain!

That's 'Dance, our herd bull.  We love him!  Really.  One of his favorite things to do (besides courting his ladies) is to follow the ATV around.  He hopes that he'll find hay in the back.  Despite having the lovely green grass in the meadow, he'd rather have the easy to eat hay as a treat. 

He's teaching the kids to do the same thing!  They are so curious now and follow him into all kinds of situations.  We call them "Dance lessons."

He's a very handsome boy!

And happiest with a mouth full of hay!
