Beautiful Duane. Almost as much as those wonderful animals you raise. Thanks for your time sharing with us.

I don't believe most ppl know how hard and time intensive making/baling/rolling hay is! Thanks for the vid - awesome as always!

I love this video. Absolutely love it. 1. the landscape, those mountains, so incredibly beautiful. 2. the fields are ginormous. I have never seen fields of this acreage in my entire life. WoW. 3. The machinery.. I have always, since a little girl, wanted to drive a combine harvester. Unfortunately I never got the chance. That is my dream. The machine that gathers up the bales. The only other one ive seen was on the Drummond Ranch (America - Ladd Drummond) Never seen one before. Such a saving piece of kit. I so enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing my friend. 🌳🚜🚜🌳

I so admire the work and artistry 😀 I can just smell the smell. From a real country girl stuck in the city. I so enjoy these beautiful as well as educational videos.

Hay farming is such good, honest work that yields a tangible and useful result. And it is enjoyable to watch. Thanks for posting the video, Duane. The music goes very nicely with the visuals.

I hope you have a great hay harvest this year.

[@haschplanta]

Very beautiful!

[@wildshaggyblue64]

You have many, many acres. Guessing you don't run out of hay / straw. Thanks for sharing eh :)

Nice drone footage!!!!! If you gotta do smalls, 16"×18" is the only way!!! I still prefer big bales though😎 We just finished up the last of the grass today, now to get some oats cut... And some other oats combined!!! Thanks for the video!!

[@carlahildebrand1544]

Love this video! How long does it take to make one run of the field? I remember in the 50s the mountain farmers raked hay up in a tall pile around a pole! Times have changed!

[@ChandlerHerefords]

We have several fields. It depends on the distance from the field to the stack. Our longest haul is about 1.5 miles or 3 miles round trip not counting distance in the field. Most hauls are about 1 mile round trip. On those runs we make about 4 loads per hour per hay wagon. This year we made about 3000 ton of hay. Awesome grass year!

[@williammatthews2948]

Very interesting.

[@evac.705]

In all my many years I've never seen how this is done, and I so enjoyed it! Thanks. Does this amount of feed handle all of your feed needs? How many cuttings do you do, and is this alfalfa, Timothy, or grass? I'm curious. Thanks Eva C.

[@ChandlerHerefords]

We cut only once. We flood irrigate. The hay we put up is all native grass hay. Our hay crop provides all of the forage we need for the herd, but we have an enormous pelleted grain bill every year due to the fact that we raise bulls and background all of the calves weaned in the fall and continue feeding them until they are either 850 pounds to sell to the Certified Hereford Beef program, or kept to sell as breeding animals. I hope this answers your questions. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe to my channel.

Cool

[@00nutt]

How many bales you think you put up for the winter? Also does the small square bales work better for your farm than the large square bales?

[@ChandlerHerefords]

Yes, our operation is set up for small bales to feed in the winter. We do not have to pick them up by hand at all during feeding time. In fact, we have invented a remote controlled feeding system for our pickups and for the truck that feeds the full bale wagon loads. It makes it much safer and really handy too. Thanks for watching!

[@ChandlerHerefords]

we make approximately 50,000 bales each season

[@00nutt]

Man that's amazing and always good to be innovative!!!!

[@melissaclark8381]

How many acres do you have?

[@ChandlerHerefords]

1100 acres of hay meadows

[@ChandlerHerefords]

The 2500 to 3000 ton of hay the meadows produce is just enough for our 600 mother cows and to keep our background lot full through the long winters here. We have occasionally had to purchase some hay on some years when our production was down.

[@zoraidamorales8284]

can you send me some seedlings for grass hey

[@jackscott1137]

Are them Hereford pedigree registers

[@ChandlerHerefords]

Yes we raise registered Herefords. We sell 400 head annually

[@jackscott1137]

Duane Chandler thanks Hereford are good animals
