Headed for the barn...

This is actually the "next to the last" load. The final load he loaded in the rain. All the bales will go in their barn to feed the 73 cows over the winter.
Hopefully there will be one more cutting of hay before frost.
I've enjoyed this series, Gary. Sure gave us a good picture of what a time consuming, physical job cutting hay is!

Even with all of his modern equipment that is still a huge job. Love the series.

Wow! Amazing that the truck can haul all of those bales.

Excellent haul….so satisfying to get those stashed away! A good feeling especially if you look out if the window the following morning & it’s raining!! 🤣🤣

Hot and dusty is what this looks like to me. Glad the haymaking is nearly over.

@milaniet Thanks, Milanie! I enjoy showing folks what goes on around here! You are right, this is physical work and depends so much on the cooperation of the weather.

@shutterbug49 I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It is intense work, to be sure.

@pamalama Yes, it is, Pam. Each bale weight 800 pounds.

@happypat Indeed it is, Pat! In fact, we got an inch of rain the afternoon the last load left the field.

@randystreat It has been hot and humid to be sure and, yes, it is a dusty job!

Very interesting photo series! What kind of cows do they have?

@princessicajessica Thanks, Jessica. I'm not sure. I've not seen them.
