The hayforks suspended at the top of the Seely barn were used to move loose hay before small bales became popular. A team of horses pulled a rope, lifting the hay to the loft and dropping it where the stackers wanted it for feeding cattle in the winter.
The intricate trolley system used to move hay from the wagon to the barn’s loft was recently donated to Lou Wyman’s Living History Museum for a display on haying. The trolley ran down a track located on the barns rafters, dropping hay with the tug of a rope.
Dave Seely shows off the hayforks that were used to stack loose hay in loft of the barn near the Yampa River. A crew of men could fill the loft with hay in two-days with the labor saving device.
The Seely barn south of Craig on the Yampa River has stood for about 100-years housing dairy cows, show cattle, horses and tons of hay. Dave Seely’s father added the three side extensions in the 1950s.
