We have HAY!

The hay guy, Lynn, who from this point on will be called Hay Guy came bright and early on Saturday morning with a truckload of hay he drove down from Idaho! I thought he was driving it up from Centerville, but no...2 1/2 hours from Idaho just to bring it here. WOW! He delivered it directly to our barn and unloaded & stacked it for $5/bale. That's a pretty dang good deal. We're gonna get another 100 bales sometime in September when he bales his last hay harvest. The hay we bought is a red clover/alfalfa mix, so it takes a little longer for it to cure and dry from what he told us. Honey and the sheep will be in hay heaven! As it was, we had to shoo all 4 of them away from his trailer - they started eating it while it was still loaded on his truck! He told us he actually had a cow bloat and nearly die from eating too much of this hay, so we have to watch the cow. We have her stall locked from the inside now so she can't get to the hay. It works out pretty well - the inside of the barn is actually clean now! No more poo from nosy cows and chickens and sheep. Now it's house shoe worthy...well, almost.

My 2 year old was very, very interested in what Hay Guy was doing in her barn so she came out to watch. Mommy and her stayed out there to help and watch the guy...well, mostly to open up the gate for him when he needed to drive home!
