These are pictures from July of 2007. We work on trim and pull off 2600 bales of hay. We sell most of it but keep 300 for ourselves. Click on the photos to get bigger ones at better resolution.

July 27th, 2007 - With 30 acres of alfalfa we have to do something with it. We hire a local farmer to cut and bale. We end up with 2600 bales.

July 28th, 2007 - We buy a shed from a guy in town and move it out to Steeldust. It just sits in the middle of the field.

July 31st, 2007 - We start to move square bales. Austin (who's 11) gets to drive the truck much to his delight. We buy a car shelter to use for hay. It holds 200 bales nicely.
