That's awesome, I posted a photo of the material I made a while back, and even after the tribal elders at our stable balked at the tractor useage, space used, and unsightly piles, the first load sold, filled a 3/4 pick up truck, maybe a yard or so, I handed over the cash, sure changed their tune, but prior to, I was the redheaded stepchild (figure of speech) wasting my time.

Compost it right, keep the hay out of it as much as possible, check the temp and let it cook to kill the weed seed, it's a great way to generate revenue.
