[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 234267, member: 3398"] gendronf, I am new to bailing hay. Last summer was my first time to ever do it. So i am not sure what you mean when you are referring to haylage ? And are you saying that to get the best quality of hay it needs to be bailed about 6 hours after it has been cut ? And if i understand you right. Even though the hay that you bailed had gotten rained on it was still of good quality if it was feed out in early winter ? You know there was a old man cutting and bailing hay close to where i was. And he cut his hay and was bailing it the next day. He said pretty much what you are saying. He said if you wait to long the hay has absolutley no nutritional value. But wont bailing hay that green mildew ? I ask the old man the same thing and he said it was not no big deal if it did ? Now on horse hay mildew will kill a horse so it has to be dryed out enough that it will not mildew. [/QUOTE]
