First fields in!

We managed to get our first lot of silage made last weekend. The grass was cut on Monday and Tuesday evenings last week, and the baler came on Friday night. There were 75 big bales of really good dry silage which will be a good half of what we need for our cows this winter. We still have 40-plus acres to gather, some of which we will make into horse haylage, both for our own and to sell. This needs to be really dry, about one day off being hay and so needs three or four really good days in a row - we're not getting that at the moment so we'll just have to be patient.
the new bales were stacked and then we put a fine mesh netting over them to stop birds pecking at them and making holes in the plastic, which causes bales to spoil.
