I buy square bales usually Timothy 1 or 2 at a time. Last time they only had canary reed grass. Looked ok, real soft, kid said his horses eat it. I figured one bale mix it with Timothy, nothing else something soft for the nest boxes. I always store my hay in real big tote, nearly bale length and deep enough to break off a section lay on top close the lid. Keeps it clean, sits in the shed. Today I open it and it feels slightly damp, felt a warm spot. Didn't smell sour, but I think it's going thru a heat in the tote. I broke it up in sections on a tarp in the sun. Have I basically bought an 8 dollar bale of garden mulch?
Going on 5 yrs first time with that kind of hay or with this happening.

We bought 40 bales 2 years ago, and every one of them spoiled from being baled too green. The guy felt bad and on his next cutting, replaced all of it. He even delivered it.
