A summer spent loading square hay bales by hand in 95 degree heat will also give you an attitude adjustment.
I hate hauling square baled hay. Not so much the work as the allergies.


The smaller round bales are worse, by far. Hard to stack, hard to carry, PITA all the way around. Dad used to bale them tight and green, they'd weigh about 90lbs., about 20 lbs less than I weighed back then. Square bales were easier and lighter to handle, by far, than the small round bales. Timothy grass makes excellent hay, but it ain't light.............


The suare bales that I stacked in Idaho were made of Alfalfa, and they weighed 95 pounds. My partner and I put a thousand bales in the barn in a day. I don't know why they make the bales so heavy out there.
