This photo was taken in Hadley, Massachusetts, near Northampton, on February 22. Hay fields like this one are usually mowed a few times a year, depending on the weather. A cow that isn't grazing on pasture usually eats about half a "square" bale of hay daily. (So-called "square bales" are actually rectangular. Round bales have become more common in recent years and are much bigger than square bales.)
