That's hard work y'all. That was a chore my sister and I had as kids alongside: mowing the lawn, pulling the weeds, watering the tomatoes, splitting and stacking the wood, keeping up on the lawn watering, keeping the carport amd front porch tip top, and feeding the dogs/horse/ cats. All pet maintenance was ours as well. Forget about the carwash in town when you have two healthy girls and the supplies to get it done at home👍🫡☑️. Oh, I was raised a certain way. Seeing y'all raise your kids the same- just melts my heart to puddles🥺🫠❤. Hard work builds hearty men and grateful women. Ps. I was taught to stack the same way up here in WA.

Even here in the East coast of Canada we use the same method of stacking, at least most farmers did it.

It’s so the strings don’t rot off !! That’s what I was taught 😂

I wish all kids had dad's like this these days...this was so my dad, but they are hard to come by in today's world!!

Yee Yee, That’s How We Stack 1,000+ a cut we are a small operation in Northern New Mex. keep Ranchin

We stack ours like that too but I was always told that it prevent the mice from chewing the twine as they burrow underneath

What a great dad/role model. Keep ranchin’

Nothing better than baling hay when it’s hot and humid 😂

That's neat about that bail helping spin them forward! I love tips like that!

Teaching that young man right, great job

I was taught the same thing whether it was stackin hay in the barn or on a trailer, and I was also taught to stack your layers different so they tie each other together

Thank you Cody for the ranching advice. I know you guys have a lot of fun on this channel but I’ve actually learned some things too, so y’all keep ranching🤠

smart to teach son the tricks of the trade!

Good to know. My apartment building doesn’t keep hay but in case something changes, I’m prepared.

Man I don't miss that mess. My grandad bought 15000 bales at the time. There was no summer break for me, I spent mine stretching wire , digging holes, feeding horses and stacking those bales. Keep Ranching

Good job Daddy,❤ wish all fathers would put this much effort in teaching their children especially the Sons!!!!!

The life you have is hard and rewarding. Keep up the good work.

I was taught to stack bottom layer on it's side so it would be less likely that mice wouldn't chew threw the strings thus keeping the bale intact. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us.

When I was young and strong I loved working during our haying season. Great way to stay in shape. Just wear a good pair of leather gloves.

I didn't live on a farm but my father had me working like that since I was 5 an his favorite words are work before play keep doing a good job felles I learned a new skill

I was taught the same. Good job teaching him working qualities!

Living the good life!

I can smell that through my phone! I miss those days!!

That's how I was taught and that's how I taught my kids and now grandbabies, thanks grandpa, keep ranching yall

Look at Clancy go!!!!

Hi Cody you are doing a good job with it

Indiana here I just want to say and we do that every other layer y'all keep ranching❤

It's ALSO about wicking the moisture AWAY from the bottom layer that is IN GROUND CONTACT. if you lay them flat the bottom most part of those bales deform and even mold and eventually rot.

Yep, that's how I was taught. Bottom layer on its side. But also with every bale on that layer laying "length-wise" away from your feet, if you understand what I am saying. Next layer lays on it's back, and lays length-wise left to right. That helps tie that layer to the bottom layer. Next layer lays on it's back, but in the same direction as the bottom layer. That ties THAT layer to the one underneath. And just keep alternating each layer as you stack. I was taught a completely different method of stacking, when stacking on a truck or trailer. And I am not good enough with words to be able to explain it here. Both methods of stacking bales, is much like stacking various items/materials on pallets, for shipping. The entire idea is to create the strongest stack possible, so there will be the least amount of movement.

Hay bales are what made a man out of me and most of my friends growing up. We’d spend 10 hours doing hay, from the field to stacked in the barn. In the hot, humid Kentucky summers. Then once we finally finished we’d be so sore, tired and itchy that the only cure was going to soak in the lake the last few hours of daylight… and of course a few beers or a joint while we kicked back in the water😂

One job I loved as a kid, lots of fun. Older I got the more I hated it😅 Oh, we stacked like that too, also keeps the twine from being so apt to rot.

Makes perfect sense. Same logic as "floor joist" and 2x4s in walls.

Why I would give to go out there and see what it is like to work a day or week with you guys just to get the ranch experience would be awesome 😎you guys are great people 💪🏾

Hard work. Y’all keep ranching!

Factory floors used to be built the same way. Logs going up and down vs. planks laying flat. A lot stronger to support the machinery that would be put there.

We were taught to stack them all on edge so that when stacking on the trailer or in the haymow so you didn't trip on the strings. Also the string rot and mouse issue. Bales were crisscrossed every layer to tie them together.

Stacking that bottom layer on edge also keeps the twine from rotting out, if it s sisal twine.

What my father taught me was to turn them up on edge for the bottom layer because if it was a dirt floor barn and it was wire tie bales they would rust

I was taught to do this for twine bales, but for preventing gophers or mice from chewing the strings apart

Another reason for the bale on the bottom to be on its side is, back in the day when they used wire, it kept the wire from rusting and breaking when you went to pick up the bale

Yes teaching him right as far as turning the bottom layer cut side down

Thats gonna be a fine man one day. Your raising him right.

Good job

YES ! Same in British Columbia.....except I think our bales are Much heavier !

Same technique for unloading tires. Gotta hit that edge. Don't have to throw hard. Just accurate.

As a hay stacker for a local feedstore. Sir I need you on my team. We have one our guys called panda,he can damn near lug a alfalfa bale with one hand. We been rolling and turning em. Great workout. Average 150 bales daily rain or shine we keep the dairies going in California

At work we stack it strings out so you don’t accidentally catch a string when you are walking down the stack but most customers like it stacked strings down

For all the people saying Clance is gunna end up hurting himself, I can tell you just listening to the sound of those bales hit, they are not that heavy! Keep calm!😂

As dry as they sound, if brome hay, then likely around 40# each. So yes, not that heavy.

I stack on edge all the way up plus the cut side always down

The wires or strings will not rot.😊😊

My dad taught me to stack hay the same way.

Dude you couldn't be more right I literally deliver hay for a living lol

35 years I've been doing this work. Let the bale do the work by aiming and each hand throwing the bales by grabbing the strings on the sides.

I absolutely HATE bailing hay. Every single year from the time I was 5 until just a couple years ago ( in my mid 30s) I helped my uncle's bail an stack every year. Id be so sore the next day that I was literally useless. Don't miss them days!

Ah okay! I hate getting the bottoms out because they are always a mess. Thanks! 😇

That was my first job. From 8-13. 3 string. Probably through a million pounds. At least it felt like it, haha. Just to be able to ride the farmers' motorcycle and gas for the summer, haha . Probably put 20k miles on it.

Yup use it all the time. And yup bottom layer is always on edge

I wish my dad was like this

Good to know. Thank You

Man farming is no joke!

I was taught the same way as a kid when stacking bale's

On the side in the dirt you have less rot. And the stack won't crawl apart

I wouldn't say it will hold mire weight stacking the bottom row on edge but it sure does save on string rot.

also allows ventilation especially for sudex

I was told so it doesn't rot the twine.

Work work work all day long

Cut edge up it helps them dry if they are damp and They are easier to walk on as you fill the Hey mau My grandfather would Would put up eight or ten thousand hayballs in the haymow

I know I'll never use this information but I'm a still keep it tucked away in the back of my mind. 🤙

I sure remember as kids having to be in the mow & pulling them off the elevator. Not fun as a girl but part of farm life!

we never had room to stack it,we kept at first one goat in one shed with most everything up 6' above then we got a second goat in a second shed,but i don't think i ever heard that

That’s how I was taught 👍🤠

I always heard to if water can get to or run under your hay sometimes when u dont stack ur bottom layer up on the side. That the bailer twine can get wet n rot n break when u lift by the strings to. Idk if that's true wouldn't wana put my hay where could get wet to begin with.

Spin that hay boyyy

Laying them on the side also protects the bottom bail from mice chewing the string and breaking the bail

Watch out for snakes, great tips 👍

If it gets moisture built up or just plain wet mold is a vet visit and possible fire. I got see a huge round bale burn for two days.

Bottom row on side to keep the strings from rotting out. Cheerio

When stacking in a pole barn or on dirt, the wire will rust/ string will rot or likely get chewed by rodents if in contact with ground. Thus first row stacked on side.

If ya put them all on edge it will help keep the mice from cuttin the strings

That's how I was taught

End over end!

Yup ❤️

We used to have to put up 7ton of hay every year for our animals but we got rid of the horses and only have four goats so only need about 2ton now could get buy with 1ton but if we have a long cold winter we have plenty.

Also if there is moisture you only loose the side of the bale.

lol 58 years of hay stacking that’s a new one for me lol I think it makes sense for a blonde headed gal but that’s really not why you turn the bales sideways on the bottom 😅

new one,makes sense.any tips on hay rolls?

Does stacking the bottom layer on the side work if there is no walls to support the bales?

Good hay bale educate.

Yep aim right there on my foot

Always stack cut edge up

I miss tossing hay

For sure I bale and stack for one week out of the year. And that's how

The reason I was thought was it keeps the string's from rotting

Hard works when you’re kicking them up in the top of a hayloft

Makes sense

😊

I was taught the mice don't chew the string as esey

That's cool learn alot from your family

Your wife is adorable. Your a lucky man

Yes sirrrr

Another reason your strings won't break due to moisture rot or rodents on bottom layer.
