Hot tea this morn. Cold at night -- 62 inside . That's too cold for me BUT not turning heat on yet! Back into mid 70s next week. A gentle roller coaster ride leaving to go to work in a few. There's a heater in the car
How far away from animal barn would you put your hay shed? I'm planning on tinning over an old portable shelter so I can buy square bales in bulk. Round bales are more economical per lb but I have no equipment to handle them...
I keep mine close enough to be easy to feed, far enough to keep animals out. Heck, I even fill my trailer, park it close & move bales from there it sits unused a lot, so why load & unload several times? Fence & hotwire around shed near animal pastures. I've not had more than chickens or a cat get into mine. And I have goats!
I use squares because it's easier on ME. I'm considering a couple rounds for Jan/Feb...not yet decided. Simply cost effect, because I can keep the hay feeders full. ALL feed is high & rising.
Today has gone beyond chilly to downright cold!! I'm going to work shortly! With lots of layers on . I work to feed animals!
