Looking at the dark colored sheep on the right standing under the wire in the first picture above, I have to assume it is not hot? 
Just put in an offer for the land next door!

That's the round pen, not hot.

Ugh...falling apart.
Still no new hay guy, fully cash paid or not.

That really sucks, could you let the sheep out on it to help cut it down some?

That is so sad. Like rain, some have too much some not enough. There are places where they would be more than happy to get hay off your fields ... if they were nearby.

They're on it full time, actually. They prefer the short stuff, so area by the house is "mowed", lol, but rest they only occasionally wander into. They vanish in it!

My alpacas are similar. They don't like tall stuff. I used the string trimmer to clear around and reset the chickens' electronet today and suddenly the grass in that area is desirable. I guess it is better when someone else cuts it for you.

Good hay guys are hard to find. This spring we told the gal we made hay for last year we couldn't do it...not sure if she found anyone else, she was really set on us doing it. But the land needs major renovation and she wasn't willing to put the work/money into it... said she'd buy the fertilizer but wanted us to apply it and didn't really see the need of soil testing. We just don't have time or proper equipment. Now with our own farm needing major work....
