I helped with square bales in the Alabama sun a couple of times. I have also been in a submarine's septic tank with a steam hose, dust pan, and a 5 gallon bucket. To this day I have no idea which one I would have to choose to do again, if forced. I will say it again, I admire your lifestyle and could not do it.

I don't think little Square bales are that bad, but I grew up doing thousands every summer from the time I was about twelve. My personal best was 4000 in three days. Today I do just enough to feed the horses and to feed cows or heifers that have trouble calving and are locked in the barn for a bit. So somewhere around five to six hundred. That's enough any more.

We didn't have a lot of cattle in our area but a lot of my family and friends with an extra field was selling square bales. Dad had five young boys that were perfectly strong of back and weak of mind ... we also bailed pine straw to sell to landscapers.
