Rain or dew its all about the same we get a lot of dew this time of the year if the hay is dry we bale it up with some of the dew on it. rained on hay as the other says needs to be re-raked or tethered to get it dry and yeas you will loose about 10% of the protein so it should sell for a little less than premium hay. As far as Mold or Mildew it will only occur if the hay it baled above 25% moisture, have it checked for moisture content if about 16 to 20 then its good less you loose protein more you get mold and mildew. Take a bale apart and smell it, it should smell good to you like the new mowed filed does. Not musty or dusty. When feeding it break the bale out and look for a white frosty looking stuff that's the mold that will harm your horse. Walt
