What is appropriate resolution for bad hay received?

Can you tell if this is a problem in the other bales you bought or just that first one? Something like burrs might mean that that bale was made from the hay at the very edge of the field, and maybe the other bales are fine. I’d try to find out without opening the bales before this goes any further. One of my hay guy’s fields was next to some woods, and I always knew when I was unlucky enough to get a bale from the edge, because it would be full of branches and oak leaves.

I was wondering about this too. Even a perfectly lovely field can have craptastic moments, so I’d definitely check the others before assuming that all of it’s a complete loss.
