I have around 250-300 4'x5-1/2' bales of alfalfa/grass hay that had a lot of rain on it and layed in the field for up to 2 weeks. It was put up dry but I don't think it has much feed value. I have been feeding it to steers that are on full feed and they will eat it but not like they would good hay. Most is from last year but some is from this summer - last years is better.
There is a local dairy I could sell it to cheap to use as bedding in their heifer barn; but I thought maybe it could be ground and mixed with something else to make a ration for beef cows for someone that is hurting for feed down south. Maybe trucking would make it prohibative but maybe if the hay was free it may be feasable? I am located about an hour north of the Twin Cities.
Let me know if this may work for you.
