Big food packages

These nice big bales of hay are stored inside a dry barn and are on their way to feed the horses.  Catherine checks the load, safety first!  The bales weigh about 700-800 pounds each and they feed the three horses and a pony for seven days in the winter.   By summertime with a little pasture, one of them lasts about fourteen days.   There's no manhandling these babies, it's up and away with a tractor lifting using a special bale fork.
