Oh my, the pics are soooo cute. My favorite is the last one, with ears and teeth and all!
MS, we do haylage here too. Funny thing as dairies are going by the wayside now as it’s not profitable. We used to fill silo, which is the same thing and feed to dairy cows. Then we chopped it and filled one silo just for the beef. Keeping those silos in working condition wasn’t profitable either and we don’t do haylage, but a lot of people who have cattle do. We make hay and have enough to feed our cattle and still have enough to sell to peeps who don’t make hay. It brings a pretty good price as the price of hay making equipment is ridiculous and if you only have a couple of head of cattle, or sheep, goats, rabbits, horses, it’s not worth the investment.
Funny you would mention liking the smell of haylage. I like the smell too, I don’t find it offensive at all, but many people just complain about how awful it smells. What smells awful are these huge hog and chicken farms!
It’s a beautiful day today!! I wish it could be like this all summer! Cool mornings, not humid, hot in the sun and cool in the shade–take your pick if you want to be warm or cool… 😆 My windows are open and the cats are stupid watching the chipmunks. We have the motherload of chipmunks this year as I guess since they found the bird feeders, they figure why not just stay here? So now we have corn snakes prowling around in the grass too. The snakes don’t bother me as they aren’t dangerous, but where there is prey–there will be predators and I’m not going to interfere. I love the natural order of things, and love that so many creatures want to make my yard their habitat!
