So, if that is what you call hay, what do you call....

[ThomasTank]

Straw

Do you call the sections/wedges/biscuits/flaps etc of hay, the same for straw??

[ThomasTank]

I call it a section of hay and a wedge of straw ( or is it the other way round

)

 

[catembi]

Yes, straw is bales..half a bale, quarter of a bale etc.

Except my 2 are so rarely in that I have to remember where I've put it...

 

[jesterfaerie]

Sections for both.
Loobie, I call them both bales but if I used even half of a bale of straw in my ponies stable he would be swimming in it, because our bales are HUGE!

 

[Emma27]

I call them both a leaf of hay/straw.

 

[Gorgeous George]

still sections!

 

[YorkshireLass]

a bale is made up of sections called canches.... in Wensleydale anyway!

 

[Taboo1968]

Sections for me as well for both...... I got very confused when a friend of mine called them flaps!!!

 

[BB2008]

Bales of straw and sections or wedges of hay!!

[dieseldog]

Flap of straw or hay

 

[brighteyes]

Oooooh I'd forgotten about flakes - very old Lancashire term.

I use piece or section for hay but our straw comes in little bales, atm, so usually half a bale.

If we get a mini heston, then I use 'piece' for straw.

 

[B_2_B]

both a leaf

 

[rara007]

Still folds..

 

[MagicMelon]

I call it a "pleat", as I do for hay... not sure where I got that from?!

 

[whippet]

Slices of hay. Don't use straw anymore, but when I did it was always bales: 1/2, 1/4 etc. Now it's bales of shavings!

Never heard of flaps/flakes, and certainly not 'biscuits' of hay

....what a sheltered life I've led
