Reading a dry bale
What to look for before you haul first-cut home — color, smell, and the core.
Good horse hay is never rained on, stacked off the ground, and smells sweet, not dusty. Walk the barn, crack a bale, and look at the core. This clip is from our hay barn in Willow County after first cutting. If it heats, leave it.
