I finished the last of the hay baling for this year. This 12 acres of prairie hay yielded 24 bales at 1100# each. Not bad for a Kansas field this year. Plenty dry through the winter this year. This particular field is really not a prairie hay per sey, it was planted with a mix of Orchard Grass, Little Blue, and Timothy.
The big drafts really love it in the dead of winter...lol! Although some is definately wasted, the 4 of them will eat about 25 or more round bales, and over 125 small bales of brome. I will sell about 200 small squares of brome, 35 or so brome rounds, and 50 - 60 rounds of prairie hay each year.
