Load of Hay | Buying Hay Bales for Feeding Heifers

We feed our heifers some silage but their main feed is hay and they eat a lot of it.
As a dairy farm, we strive to make the highest quality feed for our dairy cows, which can sometimes be too nutritious for other categories; heifers and dry cows. So we decided to buy some lower quality (lower nutrition) hay from a nearby farmer.
I took our John Deere 5085M and Farmtech trailer. We loaded 5 bales and brought them home where we set up our hay blower and put hay above the cow barn, where we store the rest of our hay. That way we will be able to mix it with our own hay and is also more convinient for us to have all the hay in the same storage, rather than feeding whole bales.
Thanks for watching!

But your hitch looks much stronger. They look nice bales of hay! Is it grass hay? How much are they making over there... €20-25?

    Very interesting video and hay storage system. I like it a lot. I’d be interested in trying something similar with buying round bales and then putting them up loose in my hay loft. What is the name and manufacturer of the machine you use to vacuum the hay up. I’ve seen seen forage blowers before but your machine seems more like a big vacuum. I’m in the U.S so it might not be something we have over here. Thanks

    Thanks 🙂 it's made by Mawek company, from Switzerland I think... 🤔 Yes, it creates vacuum so it's pretty easy filling the hay in. At the other end is a swivel tube that also moves forward and back for spreading hay evenly. We also have hay dryer from the same company, which blows cold air under hay for drying it further. You can check out my video of storing loose hay if you want 😉
