Well not only mouldy.
Last year's hay is a disaster.
If you remember, the grass didn't grow well. The chap who made our hay cut it when quite short - and also baled it very loosely, trying to get a bit more out of a poor crop! So the bales fall apart because they're too loose and the actual hay is short. Add to that a mouse infestation, bent on chewing through the baler twine and you can see I have a lot of bales falling apart.
Now add to that a lazy (now-ex!) DH who let the sheep into the hay barn but couldn't be bothered to tie up a hurdle barrier, so the sheep ran all over and peed on the hay.
I'm now feeding this stuff and unsurprisingly it's hard to deal with and mouldy in places. I feel like I'm risking my sheep and goats health with it and probably ought not to be. I do actually have enough of this year's hay, though normally I wouldn't be feeding it yet.
But what on earth do I do with about 50 bales of collapsed, mouldy hay - how can I get rid of it?
