Fast hay move

Today was time for another hay bale for the cattle.  The temperature was at freezing - not too hot, not too cold.  No rain.  No snow.  Moving the bale: piece of cake.  It was relatively easy to lift up the metal feeder, easy to hook up the chain to the pallet, easy to pull the bale.   Bing, bing, bing and I was done.

Since everything went well I pulled the bale even out further into the field.  Each bale leaves some leftover hay and manure.  No sense putting every bale in the same spot and building up a large pile of leftover crap.

Old spot and new spot

Before moving the bale I put a small bale of hay in the wooden feeder in the corral.  That distracted the cattle while I worked.   Afterwards Beulah drank from the water trough while I filled it.  In the video below you will see that she would dunk her nose before drinking.  Daisy is licking water off the well cover.
