This past summer I baled around 60 bales of hay that had gotten rained on. It was just one of those situations where I thought I had a window between showers to get it cut and baled, but it ended up getting wet. I stored it seperate from all of the good dry bales.
When I feed hay now, I'll put out 1 or 2 bales of "good" hay along with a bale that was baled wet. The cows are eating the wet bale up before touching the others. They have a real strong hay smell and dark brown spots here and there.
I figured they would turn their noses up,but they seem to love it. :shock:
These 3 bales were put out at the same time.
