My brother told me today of a situation one of our neighbors got into this last weekend...
They borrowed a tractor, kick baler (NH, not sure of model) and kick wagon from another neighbor to make some small squares that they owed a friend of ours. They hire out their own hay for big squares, and don't have any equipment to really make dry hay.
Apparantly they slashed a tire on the tractor on a fence post. A good $1000 later that's fixed, but then they ran a 6" fence post into the baler, basically totaling it out....
One figure I heard, is $6000 to make about 180 or so bales of hay.... and now there is the distinct possibility of the rest of the fence being in some of the hay. Don't know how goats fair with wire in their hay, but it can't be quite as bad as a cow. Glad it wasn't me...
