Hay String

[2barmcattle]

Speaking of hay twine.....

Takes a little longer but....after cutting all of the twines I tie them all in a knot before pulling them out from under the bale. After pulling them out from under the bales I throw them in an empty tub and when I get several together, I weave three(3 bales) of them together and braid lead ropes. They make great ones...very strong too.
