Old I have baled hay that was down for three weeks and they eat it and did good on it. If hay is ready to bale and it rains on it is much worse than green hay. When you turn it to dry it is where a lot of the damage comes from. I read once that Kansas State cut a field of Alfalfa, tested it then turned the center pivit on and run it for 4 days, then dried it baled and tested it and it lost .5% of protein. If what you are baling is fescue by this time of the year it has very little feed value anyway and it won't hurt it much.
