In my big bale this week......

[Hippona]

...I have found

3 squashed Fosters cans
1 squashed pop bottle
1 flip flop

.....and last night......a sock

The hay itself is lovely....but gawd only knows which field it came from. I'm almost worried to continue ......possibly tonight I shall unwind another layer and find a foot/leg/tramp/family on a camping holiday.....

 

[michellev123]

Haha!! O dear! My worst in a big bale was a dead, dry, squashed rabbit! :-(

 

[Hippona]

I've had a hedgehog in the past

 

[Steeleydan]

I did a house sit and their big bale haylage had golf balls in it, popping out right left and centre, nice stuff tho.

 

[Always Blue]

when we were baling in one of our fields....we found a pram after the mower had gone over it and tottally trashed it and broke the mower! ooops

 

[spike123]

I found a lambs leg in a small bale of hay once. They use the heston bales at my yard now but so far they have all been perfectly clean and rubbish free.

 

[Pipkin]

Never mind about big bales, i found a brick in my bag of HIFI!!!!!

 

[miss_bird]

I only get the usual, drink cans, babies dummies but not anything strange to date

 

[BonneMaman]

LOL - sounds like it came from a field in Glastonbury! Perhaps you will find a hippie all rolled up and fast asleep in there waiting for the summer of love....

in one of my small bales i found a £10 note once! that bale certainly paid for it's self

 

[RunRunReindeer]

Fascinating reading. Response is mixture of &

 

[PurplePickle]

lmao oh dear OP, been lucky worst is some crisp packets

 

[MissTyc]

We got a half empty potnoodle once
Coke cans are a regular finding, though. I think the lad who does the baling chucks them out the tractor as he goes along!

I'd get in there myself and hide until Spring

 

[bryngelenponies]

I feel like I'm waaaay overdue to find something weird in my bale now- I've had horses for 8yrs and I've never found anything in their hay...not even a crisp packet

Blimey, not what you'd expect to find. Did you tell them? Hope they gave you a free bag!

 

[MissMincePie&Brandy]

One of the reasons why I switched to haylage this year, was because during last years hay shortage, our hay yards supplier ended up bringing us some really awful stuff full of rubbish; plastics, metals, food packagings, and when you soaked some of the bales an oily residue came out of the water!

 

[JCWHITE]

Funnily enough, my French bale this time contains enough wood to keep the fire going for a while, must have been a branch fallen and not picked up, and a piece of black plastic.No complaints from me though, the hay is good and is very scarce this year.

One of the yards I once worked on I would find golf clubs, cans etc, all pretty normal stuff....then opened a bale once to an vile smell.....there was a family of rabbits slowly decomposing....hmmmmmmmm!!!!
I did find a mummified rat in the middle of a bag of chaff recently - I had a couple of words to say about that!!

 

[Kenzo]

lol

that did brighten up my slightly stressful morning, thank you poppymoo!

 

[MrsMozartletoe]

./family on a camping holiday.....

That made me snort


*goes off to find cloth to mop up tea off laptop*

 

[Old Bat]

I had a car crash last year!

Broken windscreen glass, burnt rubber matting, burnt and twisted metal.

 

[twiggly]

I've once found a child's dolly in one.. all random patches of hair and a charred face.. was like something out a horror film!

 

[Kayfm]

lovely pair or lime green rim specs. Tried them on and they look fab, shame one lense is missing. blllommmin elll wonder where that went !

 

[MochaDun]

In recent weeks we've had a part of the tractor appear out of a big round bale and last week a dog's lead

 

[Zirach]

Found half a rat once, lord only knows (and I dread to think) where the other half ended up!!

 

[Ginge Crosby]

Massive, dead, flatpacked rat

Hope you're not going to find the dog....

 

[Chestnutmare]

These are brilliant in making me laugh but no so cos it's damn dangerous...do you all shake your hay out to put into nets or on floor?...

I have had a door bell, packet of crisps was a usual one, rabbit foot.plastic bottles and some metal wire...all very odd!
