Top Tips
Haynets Make filling a haynet easier by putting hay into a bin bag first. Simply slip net over bag, turn upside down – pull bag clear of net. Hey presto …one filled net, with no fuss!
No sweat scraper? Use a double piece of baler twine. Gently pulled over the coat (the same way as the hair) It works just as well!!!
