Storing away

Loaded, hauled and stacked 120 more bales of hay in the barn today. Hope to get more tomorrow since the weather is nice again. There is never enough hay on a sheep and goat farm, no matter how much you store, you always run out in April- May, when all the hay farmers and feed stores are long sold out. You think you will have grass to graze and it is just a few weeks until more hay will be cut. That never happens. My hay farmer only had one cutting, that was in August, luckily I found a new supplier a little farther down the road where they had rain. It got me through the summer since we had no spring rain, I had no grass. I did have grass later in the year when the rain finally came.
