Baling Hay @ The Kessi Ranch

 

Hay making season...

Our round hay bales are

5 feet x 6 feet and weight 1,000 lbs.

The Cowboy bales the hay

in this red round baler.

The door on the back opens up...

The bale starts to roll out the back ...

Poof.....all ready for the cattle to eat this winter

When we make repairs on the baler,

we have to crawl inside to work on it...

it is like being inside a large elevator.

I spent the day on the old Ford Tractor

raking the hay into wind rows...

This is what the field looks like

after it has been raked...

it is all ready for the Cowboy to come along

and bale it up.

The John Deere tractor straddles the

wind rows and the baler follows behind

and picks up the hay and rolls it up

into a giant round hay bale.

Foxgloves growing along the edges

of the hay field...

sometimes you see a white one !
