We have Hay at The Ranch

Dan with his tractors. We just received a truck load of crushed limestone. Dan dug down about 2 feet in front of the drive up pad at the shop. The limestone was dumped in and Dan had to spread it out and pack it down. He really enjoyed using his equipment and it got him out of hanging doors inside. Although the heat index as 114 degrees... temperatures hit 102.
Our pastures were severely overgrazed last year, but with all the rain we did produce some hay. We have bahia and some coastal intermixed. We have not had time to work the pastures yet, but we contracted a company to come in to mow and bale our hay.

Looking from the lower pasture towards the shop... you can just see the roof of the shop ...

Hay bales are huge... using the Suburban to compare.

I don't have a final count but we have close to 50 bales produced - we think each bale may weigh in at around 1500 pounds or so. So the pastures did ok for the condition they were in. Now that this is done, Dan will begin working on the pastures with his new renovator.
