Consider it stirred. I vote for the round bale, but it all depends on what you are doing with the hay. If you are selling it to horse people you will be well rewarded for the extra effort. I raise cattle, 130 cow calf pairs. We used the old farmhand, like you posted a few days ago, until round balers came along in the late 70's. Dad swore if he had to use square bales he would quit. That was re-inforced one year in the 70's when we had all our hay rained out. Dad bought a bunch of square bales. Feeding it to the 60 odd cows he had then was chore enough, never mind the thought of putting hay up that way.

Now if I had to vote for the job I hate the most on my farm it would be fencing in the lake each spring. The ice takes the fences out every year and they need to be put back in. Its slow, hard work and you have to do it again every year.

Allen, your post a whike back about rebuilding the family farm sure struck a nerve in me. If you are interested my e-mail is open and I will tell you my story.
