I always wondered why I see all those rounds in plastic, but I don't see how that hay stays dry in plastic with the sun beating on it. According to my cousin, any moisture causes mold to grow and I guess she doesn't want her horses to eat that. idk, I have to ask her a few questions.
Anywho, hope you are well. My son , his wife and my two adorable grand-daughters are here for a week's vacation. I am in my glory.

The "marshmallows" (what my son called them) are mostly for fermented hay, called haylage. Like silage. Can't be fed to horses, no more than silage can. Horses have a VERY delicate digestive system compared to other domesticated animals.
If the plastic remains intact, it makes an acceptable mulch for the garden. They are just very heavy and I don't have a way to move them.
Oh thanks for that info. I know my cousin is very careful what she feds her horses. She talks about the first cutting , if done at the right time, the protein content is high, if cut and left too long because of rain, it loses a lot of that protein. It's been a lousy year for haying. Too much rain.
