Here's the food for the hoof stock.
Here's my brand new Ursa cart. Just the right size for a bale of hay, turns on a dime, big wheels for handling mud, high clearance for uneven ground. Perfect for western Washington winters.
Not so good for 6-12 inches of snow.
The hay is heavy. The snow is deep. I am not 25. It's been a long morning.

I got a sled at the farm store - it was in the hunting department as it is for hauling a hunted deer out of a forest... It was inexpensive, and is fairly heavy duty (plastic, so it's light) - stronger than a plastic kid's sled. It is rectangular, almost square - a little wider than a bale of hay, but almost the same length, and it has slightly higher sides than a regular sled so my hay bales don't tip out even when I'm going over drifts.
I would DIE without it! Get one!
I love your Ursa cart - that would be good for me during the non-winter months here...
I still think I need to figure out a way to harness up my dogs to help me pull this stuff... or my goats. SOMEONE should be earning their keep around here!
Happy holidays!
I haven't seen anything resembling a sled in farm stores around here. We just normally don't get much snow! Although, that may be changing. Do you know the brand name of the sled? Would be a good thing to have around.
The Ursa cart has been great. Strong, sturdy, easy to haul, and it dumps, too!
I have to admit I was looking Charlie up and down when contemplating carrying that bale of hay...
What a glorious sight Ursa is in the snow. Happy Birthday, Ursa, from Robyn and Ilka!
And back at ya Ilka, from Ursa and Judy!
