Grass rowed up ready for baling
Baled & wrapped
Pleased to know that this years winter feed for the sheep has been collected at Huxtable Farm B&B Devon 🙂
Silage – baled & wrapped :)
Time to make hay or silage…
The grass is cut and were hoping for the sun to continue to shine to make hay, if it doesn’t big bale silage will have to be made instead of small bales of hay!
