Southtxponygirl - 2017-02-16 4:59 PM Man I hope that all the ones that found animal parts and what nots in their hay found a different hay supplier, that is horrible what some of you guys have found.. I help with baleing at times and have never seen anything like that, sounds like they are baling along roads and highways.  
Finding small animals, although unwanted, happens when they don't get out of the way fast enough. We bale our own and usually get a few snakes, and ocassionally a rabbit, and one time a duck. Those of you finding junk probably are getting ditch hay.. and the dead deer? Someone who doesn't give a darn must have baled that :-/
I know up here in the North it's fairly common to get young deer with a swather too. The does bed their fawns down in the hay fields, & instinctively fawns stay put until their mothers come get them. Even with a giant piece of farm equipment bearing down on their hiding spot, many won't try to jump up and run until it's too late. 
That is so sad. :(  I wasn't expecting deer parts.  I was expecting stories of condoms or something along those lines. LOL 

 Looking for ideas and anecdotes for that next page turner I see. LOL

At least you all are finding dead snakes in your bales.....when we load out of the field, sometimes you come across a live snake and boy is it ****ed.

I can understand small items but a tree or deer? How did their machines even process that without tearing up?  Maybe I am wrong but can they not stop in the middle of a line if they see something in the way or does it mess up the bale so its worth the risk??

Bread bags and water bottles and is the reason I now feed alfalfa cubes. I have never found garbage in our coastal hay.
