Waching daily Jul 16 2017

Hi, I'm Mike and this is our Wyoming life

Over the winter our cows will eat about 400 tons of hay and we usually count on feeding

them for about 180 days.

That's the worst case scenario, but when you're ranching, it's always best to plan

for worst case.

400 tons over 180 days, that's a little over 2 tons per day, of course winters start

out light, we might only begin feeding a ton day and save as much as possible for the rougher

parts of winters.

But that's the weird thing about ranching; you are totally up to the mercy of the weather.

From making the hay, to feeding it, the hay game is in Mother Nature's hands.

You might not have any hay to make or a reduced crop, and then get hit with a hard winter.

Or you may have hay coming out of your ears and have a really easy winter, you honestly

never know.

Unlike most jobs, your paycheck or even the ranch itself depends on the weather and how

much hay you can make.

Not many ranches can't buy hay every year and ours is no exception, but like the old

saying goes, it's got to be better next year.

So with haying done for this year, we count up our bales and start figuring out how much

hay we need to buy and where we are going to be buying it from but another pressing

issue is gathering up the hay we have made and getting it to the hay yard.

The hay yard is an area of the ranch were we store our hay until we need it this winter.

And the first part of getting our hay stored is getting it out of the field.

When we make bales with the baler we tend to scatter them all across the field, whenever

the baler is full, that's where you drop a bale.

Sometimes it's in the most inconvenient spot.

Sometimes you are on a hill and the bale pops out and chases you and the baler down the

hill, until you manage to get out of its way and it rolls for a quarter of a mile.

Or sometimes you make a bale and drop it off forgetting you are parked the other way on

the hill, and again it rolls away and you watch it go, hoping it doesn't hit the four

wheeler you have parked down there, or roll through a fence.

Sometimes it does.

So my point is the bales are scattered, everywhere.

And the first things you need to do it gather them up and put them on a trailer to take

to the hay yard.

This means driving across acres to get one bale and bring it back, and then do it again,

and again and again, until your trailer is full.

Moving hay can be dangerous and deaths happen every year while doing it, here we stay safe

by making it a one man operation, the trailer is mounted to one tractor, another tractor

is used to load the trailer, then you drive the tractor and trailer to the hay yard where

another tractor is waiting for you to unload.

These bales weight about 1500 lbs. apiece and if one falls off a trailer and you happen

to be standing under it, you aren't going to have to worry about buying Christmas presents

this year.

Even inside the tractor it can be a bit spooky, with the weight of the bales on the front

of the tractor it drastically changes the tractors center of gravity and it's not

unheard of for a tractor and its operator to flip a tractor with all that weight toward

the front, so you have to be careful.

Once the trailer is loaded, then it's down the road to the hay yard.

We have multiple hay yards, mostly for insurance purposes because they don't want you to

have your entire stock of winter feed in one spot, which makes sense.

If there is a fire, you could lose tens of thousands of dollars of hay but you could

also lose the ability to feed your cows anything until you can get that hay replaced.

Today we are unloading in our main hay yard and unloading is much the opposite of loading,

followed by stacking the hay.

There are many ways to stack hay, and a lot of the way you stack depends on your climate.

Most stack their hay end to end and go up like a pyramid, some toadstool stack, putting

a bale on to its end then stacking on top to keep deer from eating their hay, others

wrap their hay to keep moisture completely out of the bale.

However the hay is stacked the main goal is keep moisture from penetrating bales and causing

spoilage.

We stack with a base of three, end to end to limit the amount of moisture that can enter

the exposed end of the bale.

It will take us a few days to bring all of our bales up to the hay yard, some of our

hay fields are about 3 to 4 miles away and each trip can take a couple hours with loading

and unloading.

With each separate field's hay in the hay yard it gives us a chance to get a sample

of the hay as well, which we will send to the University of Wyoming.

Where they will test it for protein levels, minerals and sugars.

These numbers will help us decide what and any supplements we will have to give the cows

this winter when feeding the hay.

Big round bales, that's the way we go, until they outlaw them, that is.

New studies have shown that when fed the round bales, cows aren't getting a square meal

and I've heard that can be an issue.

With our hay count complete, now we start trucking in the hay that we will need to fill

up the rest of this hay yard and it's a lot about 14 truckloads and hopefully it will

start arriving next week.

That's it for moving hay, and we best get back to it.
