Worst night EVER!!!

well i have been waiting patiently all day for my hay to be delivered for the winter, scraped together the money and all. 9pm comes along and finally get the call, go down to the crossroads to guide the truck back to my house only to see the biggest truck in the world, not a hope of it making its way past the crossroads down my road and down my lane, so what do i do, leave the bloody hay at the crossroads in the teaming rain!!!!!. no cover on it or anything.
AND, he was supposed to give me 4 extra large square bales when i only got two tiny round bales, how the hell am i going to get them down to my house, 6 miles away, i dont have a trailer but i can borrow one but how do i get it into the trailer and i dont have a tractor either or know anyy farmers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so angry right now not having a great night and the rain is pounding against the window here

Oh im sorry you had such an awful night! Im sure you will figure out a way, things always seem to work themselves out

OMG.............so sorry, wish I was there and could help!

well if he didnt give you the hay you wanted, AND it been rained on....will your hay supplier give you more to replace it/ give you more at a reduced price?

my barn switched hay suppliers after one week when they hay was supposed to come on tuesday.....and it didn't.....thursday rolled around and still NO call and NO hay. I think its entirely ridiculous and wonder how these people stay in business!

Don't keep it if it's been rained on... that's not really good hay anymore to be feeding...

i need to keep this hay, i have managed to find a farmer with a tractor to bring it down for me and see what it is like, if it is entirely ruined i dont know what i will do but there is no hay anywhere near me, would have to go to far side of the country to get anything and i dont have a trailer or a truck to bring it over. i have enough hay left to last a day so i dont really have a choice, unfortunatly, but i hope i can get more soon. he gave it to me at a reduced price but i didnt expect torrential rain last night and thats what happened, i hope its dry enough but i dont think so

if you have the room, bust the rolls open and and dry them out again. If a farmers hay gets to wet before he can store it they will undo the rolls spread it out let it dry out and rebale it. I know you don't have the equipment to reroll it (or you wouldn't be buying hay) but you could spread it let it dry for a couple of days then bundle it up in a large tarp or something.
If we have only 1 or 2 rolls to move we will get the lawn trailer or the truck for 1 roll, get my teenage nephews put a ramp on the trailer or the back of the truck and roll it in.
If we have a trailer load to move we get lazy and get the tractor.

i was thinking of breaking them open and leaving them to dry in one of the sheds, some lovely farmer has just dropped them into my shed and the middle of them is lovely and dry but the outside is wet, so i will remove the outside and dry that out and hope that the middle is dry enough to feed, in the meantime im desperatly trying to find more hay. i now hate hay delivery men, they are so stupid

Gahh! So sorry that happened to you! My trainer always says its good to have more then one supplier, because of this reason!

For the future, invest in some giant blue waterproof tarps, Florida Hurricane Holely Roof covering style. That way, if something like this ever happens again, you'll have something to throw over the bales to keep the worst of the rain off the hay, at least temporarily.

Hope your Hay dries out ok!
