Margali's Griffin Wood Ranch

The chickens are getting big!

And sheep are enjoying the greenery.

Our neighbor gave me a roll of 4"×4" wire, a round bale holder, and partial round bale.

Getting the round bale home was hilarious. We didn't have a tractor and it was laying flat.

If at all possible, get the round bale rolled so the rounded part is up. The rain will work it's way down into the hay and ruin it quickly if it has the "flat side" up. The rounded side will help to shed more of the rain and the net wrap also helps to shed some water.
Unless you just plan to use it for mulch then getting wet and all isn't important.

That's a pretty good score, a round bale ring/feeder is not cheap new. And good wire/fencing is always a plus.

This is same neighbor that gave me the 7 panel round pen. Very blessed by her generosity.

The hay's been out for months flat side up. Probably going to be bedding in shed / mulch. I have a small stack of square bales I'm feeding the new girls

Are they getting out of livestock??

They are older couple and moved into town. They are selling their land.

Aria looks so pretty framed in green!

You have some real nice grass/graze showing up! Anytime you put out a round bale for the sheep, remove the net wrap or hay twine. If they chew and swallow it, it could impact their intestines. They would die a painful miserable death with you trying everything to save them and not knowing the real cause.

Now I’ve scared the crap out of you for the day. That’s better than hiding behind a door and jumping out hollering BOO! Hahaha!

I know about the net issue. I keep finding bits of net mesh around the acreage. It drives me nuts that previous owners didn't care.

I know! I hate digging old hay twine out. I’m with you on that!
