July 20 and we’re putting the year’s first load of second cut hay in the hay mow! This is a little early for us, but the weather in our area has cooperated this year and given farmers’ several stretches of good drying weather. Most managed to get first cut off their fields in plenty of time for second cut to regrow. Now we’re getting more good drying weather and a lot of second cut hay is down.
It feels great to get a start on the 1500+ bales we’ll put up to feed our alpacas through the winter.
