Since this is first cutting, you should have
room in the barn:

lay them on edge (not the twine side) on the
floor, a couple inches apart. Don't stack, just
one layer. Leave them for 5 days or so. They
should dry out, dissapate the heat, & be ok for
cattle.

Some folks will put salt on the edge, aborbs
the moisture & prevents mold, but seems a lot
of work & rusts the nails out of your barn....

But if their is risk of them catching fire, getting
them out of the barn is a fine idea. :) Stacking
tight & covering with plastic will totally ruin
them tho - forget the plastic. Tumble them on
the ground, better than tight stack on the
hayrack, you will ruin the floor if they sweat.
