Have it delivered and stacked is great. I'm not sure how much 'the good stuff' will cost this year, as I've not heard from my hay guy. (Trying to hold out for a second cutting). Tarps work really well to keep the 'starving sheep' out of the hay. Just make sure you secure the bottom well, so they can't push it up.<br />TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22671526.post-71298666013818203952009-07-27T21:47:37.865-05:002009-07-27T21:47:37.865-05:00Yes, $3.00 is so wonderful!!

I put the fence up to keep the girls from eating the hay. You can see how well that worked. For now, I just shut them all out of the barn. They've got the nice, long covered "porch" area for shade and shelter anyway, so they don't need to be in the barn until I can put something (tarp? sheets?) between the hay and the fence.<br /><br />Yes, it was a good deal. Although, the bales aren't real big. I'd say they run between 25 pounds for the smallest ones to 40 pounds each for the rest. I like to figure about a bale of hay a day for 10 ewes so will probably feed a bale & a half when feeding the smaller ones.Nancy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06061265740359266798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22671526.post-38910039955997299592009-07-27T11:19:26.359-05:002009-07-27T11:19:26.359-05:00the square bales are getting harder for us to find...the square bales are getting harder for us to find. We got ours for $2.50 apiece but drove a "fer" piece in the country to get it. In our little utility truck, we can only get so much at a time.
