Working with Draft Horses/ Buying Hay

We head over to Alan's parent's to buy another load of hay. Watch as Leonard uses his Belgians to pull the hay for Alan to load it up.

    My grandfather farmed with nothing but horses. He passed away in 1951 at the age of 51. We lived a few miles south west of Truman. His last team was Belgians, their names was Barney and Bess. They both passed away in the later 50's and were laid to rest on the Farm. I was born in 55 so never meet grandpa but grandma said I did meet the team. Lol. All the horse drawn equipment was keep in a machine shed and I remember playing on it pretending I was driving the horses doing all kinds of farming. Oh what fun days.

    Love watching your vids. These tasks have been forgotten as part of the “family farm” daily activities. They’ve largely been replaced by the breakneck speed of industrial agriculture. Thanks for keeping your roots planted in family. It makes me smile

    The wind muffled him, but when he was out at the bales after he told them to back up he said he hasn't gotten a tractor to listen like that! Leonard has been training horses since he was young. It's hard to believe, but Stony and Stub used to be really wild before he got them.

    We belong to AMPI but they're selling the milk to Burnett. It works out nice because the trucking is way less because we are so close to Burnett. Burnett sells some of their milk from farms that are closer to AMPI plants to AMPI. It's a really nice deal that the Coops made that saves a lot of farmers money. Thanks for watching!!!

    Hello, By storing hay outside, don't you have too much bad hay? Here in Belgium, it is impossible to keep hay outside in winter. Your videos are great, I love your horses and the way you lead them. Thank you

    There is some waste but usually not bad, if we have that we know will be kept outside we will put the twine closer together so it sheds water much better, we also make sure there is space between the bales on all sides and they are in a place where there is a lot of sun and wind, that also seems to help. Thanks for watching!

    Now one round bale equals how many square bales? and how many square bales or round bales does your cattle go through? In a day?

  • @trinitydairy

    @trinitydairy

    4 жыл бұрын

    I think on average a round bales is about 18-20 square bales. We like to have 1200 small squares, and about 200 round bales for the fall/winter. The cows in the barn will typically get 8 small squares a day, and have 3 round bales out free choice that will last 2 or 3 days.
