mulch hay

[goddessfarmer]

~200 bales of mulch hay. All. By. My. Self.  (raked, baled and in the wagons with the attendant maintenance.) I have replaced my emotional angst of this morning with physical exhaustion and filth. The baler didn't miss a knot, and the kicker only fouled once. I did miss the wagon three times, thus proving that I can still toss a 40lb bale of hay like a basketball into the wagon, the front of which is well over my head.

Liquer is a great muscle relaxant - you can always say it was medicinal! That was an amazing amount of hay - you rock, girl.

not really an amazing amount actually, on a really good day, with an experienced crew of 2+me we can do 600 bales. Mind, we generally don't have to lift much, the baler gets in into the wagon.
