Old Hay

[jwggriff]

This may have been discussed but using the search I was unable to find it. What would you do with old wet round bails of Hay. I have about 10 rolls that were stored outside that was rained on throughout the winter months that we did not feed. Will this make the cows sick if I put it out? How's the best way to dispose of it?

Feed it. Some times they actually prefer it.

Ive never had a hay barn- pull back that top layer of hay- you'll be surprised what you see!

Thanks for the responses...I just wasn't sure whether it needed to be disposed of or not.

feed that hay 1st when you start feeding in the winter.

Drop it off at my place. I'll take care of getting rid of it for you

This fall, it would be the first hay I would feed if I were you.
