Giveaway: Day 2 – Hay Bale Bag
Got Hay? Need to take it somewhere without losing half of it between the barn and where you’re going? Want to take your hay on the road with style? Then you need this Hay Bale Bag from Useful Lama Items! ($80 value) This bag will hold a 30lb. “square” bale of hay. It has sturdy handles on the sides and on one end, allowing you to grasp it and carry it easily. It has a nylon zipper with a flap to keep it from clogging with debris. Another added feature is the side pouch with velcro where you can put your toenail trimmers, clippers, or other accessories. I could have really used this bag at the La. alpaca show. I got hay all over myself carrying it from the trailer in to the alpacas!
We have been buying our alpaca supplies from Useful Lama Items for close to 10 years now. The people at Useful Lama are very professional and helpful. Many times they have come to the aid of myself or one of my customers when we were in a bind. They have everything you can think of for alpacas and lamas, as well as for fiber enthusiasts. Check out their wide selection of books as well as medication, wormers, and supplies. We use their hay bags (shown below). What Useful Lama item is at the top of your wish list this holiday season?
Win this Hay Bale Bag!
The one we are giving away is just like the bag at the top, except it is made from the Silver Fabric shown on the hay bag in the lower picture.

The complete cria care kit looks very handy.
I love that hay bale bag. I can think of several useful purposes for it here on the farm. I could even tote biddies(baby chicks) in it before long. I have to carry feed from the barn to the other shed where Betsy the cow and her calf are. Boy, would that bag work good for that too. About to twitter it and hopefully try to stumble it too.

They do hay out at the Farm and the only reason I haven’t brought any back to town with me is the lack of a hay bale bag! Do they make one big enough for the big round bales? heeheehee
PS I think the “no spitting” sign is very useful. But that was before I saw the cookie cutter! What a fun site – even if you don’t have animals!

Very cool idea with the give-aways! I will twitter this later, but for now I checked out the Useful Llama Equipment website and LOVE all the driving equipment! How cool is that? I’ve been dying to teach my new horse to drive and I had no idea you could do it with Llamas. I know the cart says it’s for Llamas and Alpacas, but everything else seems more geared towards llamas. Do many people drive their Alpacas?

I think the Tubtrug looks like an amazing invention. We don’t have llamas, but we do have rabbits, chickens, and dogs. I can think of thousands of uses for the Tubtrug. Susan

I like “The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook ” I would love to make socks from alpaca wool.
December 7th, 2008 at 2:21 am
wow that’s really cute!! i could put the hay for my bunnies in here!!!
December 8th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
I like the jewelry and the socks from the website. I don’t own any alpacas, but am planning to help a friend who does take them to a show this spring. The hay bale bag would be quite handy.
December 9th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
I actually really like this hay bag. It would come in so handy when hauling my kids’ things around.

Hi,
Great Giveaway Ideas! The hay bag would be sooo handy!
Useful Items has so many wonderful products that it is hard to choose just one! My top 3 list is:
1. I had some good training in doing fecals last year and would really love to set-up to do our own now. I really like the Centrifuge with time and speed controls. And of course, a microscope!
2. The Camelid scale (SCALE-MTIAW550)is a real must-have.
3. Also, the cria coats sure do come in handy!
Thanks for this opportunity!
