This morning, as part of the NCSO inmate (trustee) work program, we introduced our (farm trustee) inmates to the almost forgotten profession of hauling square bale hay.

I have always felt it important to help educate these inmates in various roles of ranching and other professions. Therefore, we use inmate labor when possible to encourage and help them to utilize and apply any skills learned while incarcerated, toward employment once released.

We are putting up the square hay to support our estray livestock program throughout the year.
