I ran into the same problem you have. Rather than hauling the hay, I came up with a feazable solution
Some of the hay I had was for sale so I opened up a Cow / Horse diner and the locals would bring in their livestock to eat. the field makes a good recreation area so it's kinda like a picnic to the animals, and they seem to be happier as they don't have to stay at home all the time.
To get a charge on each meal the animals eat we weighed them before and after they ate subtract that from the average a bale weighed and walah pretty close. If they lost some while eating,[You know made a patty?]weigh that too and subtract that from the first weigh in. You may loose a little profit on that dinner but you will have many happy costumer's that will gladly return their animals.
If you can get them to stay for supper the other benefit you get is the fertilizer they leave in return, kinda like a tip.
My animals seem to really enjoy their company. [I walk them over with my 4 wheeler}, or my son does as he likes to run it too. They are so happy knowing they are going to meet new friends I think they could actually go themselves.
