[QUOTE="MosesR, post: 893335, member: 15246"] Try to think back to the weather at the time. My dad did custom harvesting all around this area for years. Some years the hay was perfect, good growth, cut at the right time, cured well, and stayed dry until it was in the barn. Some years, especially with fall hay, everything was too mature, took too long to dry, even without rain we can get very heavy dews day after day on down hay and it would look like it had rain on it. Anyway, think back to the weather at the time of harvest, if the conditions led to the hay being harvested late and you bought it, just be happy you have hay to feed. So far with the mild winter, I have fed some not so good hay and let the cows clean it up. Follow it up with a good bale. [/QUOTE]
