Baling hay for this coming winter's feed was finished this week and all bales are now in the hay yards. A new custom harvester accomplished the task in a timely fashion and the properly harvested hay tested 9% protein and 52 TDN so it is much better in protein and energy than the late harvesting of the past 2 years. About 320 tons of hay was baled which should see us through snow conditions since we still have very adequate grazing conditions due to good moisture this summer. This meadow was hayed for the first time in 20 years and creates a pretty sight from the house.
