when we need to unload and stack hay and straw bales, we bungee 2 to3 bales together and the kids and i can drag them from the wagon in to the barns for the guys to stack...we are dragging them on cement, otherwise, it wouldn't be quite as easy.

I got my hay in this weekend. The hay guy has a stacker and he delivers it right in front of my barn so the bales only need to be carried about 25 feet for stacking. This year the stacker wouldn't work with the baler he used. BUT--I drove the truck; Richard's helper and the two kids I hired loaded and stacked the hay. Then we drove to my house (about 3 miles). They unloaded and stacked and I never touched a bale! My labor cost was only $60. Haven't gotten the hay bill yet.

The hay is really nice this year. Very green. Last year I got a few moldy bales. I don't think there will be any mold this year. The two horses in the sacrifice area were hanging over the gate. I can smell the hay when I walk down the driveway.
