Oh the hay ran away.
We went and bought a round bale of Blue Stem hay today (the goats LOVE IT) it was good hay and not to costly. So we were fixing to put it out for the kids and Eric's tractor wont start. Put it on a charger box... nothing. So we (Eric, mom and me) decide we would just roll it off the trailer to set it in the spot a few feet away. We laid down a big timber so it would not roll down the hill. Eric cut the net wrap and started to push... and pushed he did... RIGHT DOWN THE HILL. It rolled right around the timbers we laid to stop it from rolling. All three of us just stood there and laughed. The goats on the other hand thought it was AWESOME to run down the line of freshly unrolled hay. Oh they had a blast running through jumping on the tarp as I pitch forked it onto a tarp to throw into our hay trailer. Never a dull moment here but I honestly love it.
I got about half of it picked up and put away but it got to dark for me so me and mom will be back out there tomorrow. Figured y'all would get a laugh from it.
Thats where the hay ran away

Off to haul it to the trailer. At least it wasn't a far walk but boy it sucked when they jumped on the moving tarp... and that was a great fun game for them.

I could picture exactly what happened, just from your thread title.
At least it didn't take out any fences.
BTDT.

I had that happen in my yard last summer, but it was netted, so it stayed together. And it wasn't even my hay!  Rolled over a rose bush. The gimondo forsythia finally stopped it. The guy whose truck it rolled off of was all kinds of apologetic.... The neighbor came over with his tractor with a hay spike? hay fork? Spear thing you stick in the hay, whatever it's called, LOL. Put it back on the truck, and off the guy went. Came back that afternoon with 2 watermelons! DGS loved that! 
PS: The rose bush lived.....

My kids(2 legged) did that to me once. I had a brand new bale delivered and the next day I get home from work and the bale was gone. I walked out into the woods where the bale was and the entire bale was unrolled all the way down the hill. The horses loves laying on that nice bedding of hay.

One of those horrible moments when you know things are going downhill ( ) and you can't stop it. How helpful those little goaties are.
Thanks for the laugh- a little painful but definitely funny.

OMG! Never a dull moment around your place for sure! At least it didn't roll on anything important!

That was too funny. And ya know...that's what I love about that BooBoo- his can do attitude. He's always willing to lend a hand when needed!
Did you have any left in the actual roll or was it all laid out?

We did actually have a little left. Maybe a 40 lbs worth. All three of us just looked at each other and laughed. What else can you do but laugh? The sad/funny thing is it only had to roll off the trailer and go maybe 3 feet if that and it would of been perfectly set. Oh well... maybe this is the farm God's way of saying I do not need to set out a whole round bale for the goaties.
By night fall I was ready to cook me some goats. They all thought the tarp was something to run and jump on while it was moving. 130 lb goat stops you in your tracks when you are pulling lol. I will try to get some video today of them running. They are crazy right now even the big fatty prego girls were getting in on it.

LOL, oh that is too funny
Goats are always so "helpful" when it comes to cleaning things up aren't they?

We have no equipment to handle hay here so it's all rolled around by hand here. We never cut the strings until it's where we need it to go for that very reason, lol.
