The one neighbour I don’t have anything to do with made his hay a fortnight ago. All in 4ft rounds. I wouldn’t even give him £5 a bale for it… nowt but weed and scutch grass.

Often they don’t have stock or they would know that they would starve out on the shite they make

Oh, best hay in the neighbourhood. Land seen no spray or fertiliser for 20 years. Untouched for the rest of the year and it still takes it until August to get a crop worth mowing.
couple of years ago he had too wrap it as the weather wouldn’t allow hay making in early September. It sat in the stack until this last spring when he found some fool willing to give him £15 a bale collected for it. He’d been offering it me monthly since the day he made it. I kept telling him it would cost me a fortune in carrots and molasses too make it worth feeding!

He runs a flock of soay x Jacob x Southdown sheep. Plus 2 highland cows which get served by a highland x Holstein bull he bred from them. Proper man of mystery. None of us can work out how he pays the rent!
Would his hay be any good for bedding at £5?

Only if I wanted too import all the weed seeds that come free with it… otherwise yes it would be fine!

We’ve often commented it’s a wonder he doesn’t have a “mystery fire” when fodder isn’t a fast trade. It would be the only way he’d draw a decent amount for it!
I knew someone like that, spent his time dealing shares, wouldn't have minded being tuppence behind him

you talk to the neighbour you have nothing to do with, once a month? bloody hell, i can go a couple of years without talking to the neighbours i like
He keeps blackie hoggs so has to keep talking to the neighbors to get the escapees back!you talk to the neighbour you have nothing to do with, once a month? bloody hell, i can go a couple of years without talking to the neighbours i like
But what it like though? My neighbor made some a month ago, rank grass mowed in the rain and sat wet for 2 weeks until they turned it once and baled on damp evening, the bales are sat out in rows across the field since (probably so the didn't burn the sheds down), I don't think I would be rushing to buy those for £8 bale!
