[QUOTE="flaboy-, post: 284434, member: 3688"] I typically have hay left over each year that I carry to the next year. My hay barns are far from air tight. One has a roof and two sides the other is just a big ol tin barn with one end open due to it falling down but the roof over the hay storage area does not leak. I have never worried about bugs. Never really noticed them in the hay. I do store mine off of the ground a few inches but that won't stop a bug. My horse hay stays in the old barn and I have never had a complaint from the horse about bugs in it. :lol: Being that far south it's had to say what might crawl up in their hay. I suspect there is bugs in every bale of hay. I don't think they all escape the baler. My opinion is if kept under a dry roof there is no reason hay won't last a couple years and be good enough for most horses. I have fed 5 year old bales to the cows and they love it. You gotta be more careful what ya feed a horse though. [/QUOTE]
