Let's see, so far I've had two bales of haylage delivered for the winter. Next Friday I'm having four round bales delivered and scattered about the fields. Scored that at $30 per bale! Each bale is about 1000# each and should last a LONG time.
But before that I need to purchase some tarps to wrap them in to keep them rain/snow- safe as well as. What I do is keep the bales laid out on the round side, wrap them up in the tarps and undo the sides for the sheep to eat from. This keeps the hay bunched together and dry and the sheep can eat at leisure. I also find that they are less wasteful this way them if I kept them on the flat and took off the bottom ties.
Also on the agenda is to find some firewood too and get that put up. This winter is supposed to be nasty so I need to get 'prepared' with heat and food for the animals. Now that I have a dry place to store dog food, I can stock up on that too.
