    I watch other people using their horses, and I know you take great care for all your horses. You know each one of them and you know they know you. I will say something farmers never said when I was a kid, that they loved their horses, they were for work. Well I see a lot of love and care from you both. With out them nothing would get done. You care so much about their health and comfort. I watch you every time you have a new video. I watch the old ones too. I love learning from you. Your pace in your work is most efficient and saves time by knowing where and what you are going to do. It's hard to teach and be working at the same time. Bless you both for all you do. Susie

    Tedding those windrows back out over the wet areas this year might make the area a little better and less wet next year; even if it doesn't, as you said, you still are returning the nutrients to the soil. lol you know, I think stuff like this is why old-fashioned farmers are essentially philosophers. Thank you for the hayfield time; it's better than therapy!

    As a beekeeper, the raking of hay means the end of the nectar flow. The old saying is, "No hay, no honey." A sign that the seasons keep moving on whether we are ready or not.

    • @johnkomosa4089
      @johnkomosa4089 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I worked for a farmer who had bee hives also, he alternated his cuts so he always had flowers for his bees, he had some of the best fields I have every seen, and the honey combs all over the place oozing.. ah ha.😄

    That tall wagon is working a treat. Nice to see it all coming together. Your method of baling is so different to ours in Oz. Such a pity to waste that beautiful hay. Can it be racked further across the field to the harder land? Or forked by hand for loose feed? It's all so nicely winnowed to make it easy to fork up into a wagon. But I guess if you are so busy, there just isn't time to do any hand work. Bree is booming. She knows she has to start spending time alone now. But her mother comes back within an hour or so. So she doesn't bung on a big turn and scream the barn down!
    Always lovely to see your videos. Jim does the hard manual work and most of the horse work, Brenda does the filming and the garden and helps where she can. Always good to see you two working so well together. 😃

    Judging by what I see on the Weather Channel about rain in your area, Jim, you also must be a master in timing your haying. Under the circumstances you have to deal with, I think, it's pretty hard to avoid some hay getting rained at. We were lucky, got our first hay in with out any rain, but ever since it would have been rather hard.

  • @wayfaringrider972
    @wayfaringrider972 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is it your first cut of hay? End of july seems to be quite late. In Germany we start making hay in the lower fields in the end of may until end of june. Only in the mountains the time to make hay begins in the end of july until the middle of august. If the ground is wet it is a good idea to make a "swath". so only part of the hay gets wet again in the night and it´s drying faster... Wish you good luck, dry weather and healthy horses!

    great segment. how many bales do you normally go through during the winter. Hay season in eastern Rensselaer County NY was hard work. you'd normally get all your hay up in a weekend or two. we had a small subsistence farm and only put up about 600 bales for our cows, horse, mule and donkey. i was in my late teens and i always got to get in the loft and pile it in there. thanks for sharing.

  • @tracyjohnson2992
    @tracyjohnson2992 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Has Jim thought about raking the wet hay to the higher ground and then give it a day or two to dry out naturally. I know its a lot of bother but it is better than loosing all that hay. at $60+ a round bale that's a tidy chunk or money your loosing. It could mean the cows will not have enough to eat all winter or maybe a customer is looking for more hay. The horses are looking great and they are each getting plenty of exercise and your getting a lot done so far this year. we have good hay this year in Canada too. so that's all good news. Have a great day see you in the next video. God bless you both and your horses. Brie is coming along quite nicely she is a fair size already she may get her height from her mumma and her colouring from Baron. Did you say Lady has been bred again with Baron? i cannot remember if you said that in another video. we haven't heard anything more so i assume it didn't go as well this time. I know she is older for a mare in foal but do you not think it is a bit too early after Brie? Just a question, i hope you don't think i am out of turn with that question its just her age. Anyways she is your horse and its none of my business really. Anyways have a great rest of your day i look forward to watching the next video Say hi to Trudy and Abby God bless

      @suzanneyoung8011 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm a horse breeder, so thought I'd add my two cents worth in if you don't mind. Jim didn't breed Lady back on her foal heat. He bred her on her first regular cycle after that giving her plenty of time to recover after foaling. We just don't know yet the results of that breeding as to whether she got back in foal. But overall Lady appears to be in great shape and had no complications. There shouldn't be any problems with Lady having another foal. She may have gotten a late start in her breeding life, but she is definitely not too old to be bred.
