Yesterday we hauled 30 big round bales over 200 miles to my cousin's dairy farm. We were selling hay that had never been rained on and stored in a shed for $80 a bale while they were buying hay for $180 per bale and it was not as good. We decided to split the difference and sell the rest of the hay we had in the barn. Derick spent a good afternoon loading the semi trailer and strapping the bales down. Then it took a couple days to get an oversized load permit.
You might notice one bale is greener than the others. It is a clover bale and the ones next to it are oats bales.
Here is a view of their farm up on the hill as we were getting ready to climb their steep driveway. We were almost to the top when the wheels started spinning. Luckily they found some traction and we crested the hill.
