Janice, (and anyone else that feeds round bales)
I have been thinking of getting some round bales this year. It seems
they are getting to be easier to find as they require less handling and work
for the farms putting hay up. I've never fed using round (or big square)
bales
before, so I have lots of questions: Is there a lot of waste? How do you
move them around? Do you use a tractor? What about when they get rained
on? Can you break one open take handfuls off to feed, or does the whole
thing become rather unmanageable once opened?
I'm going to call my hay man tonight and see what the scoop is for this
year. . . I'm dreading what he might tell me. : ( I've been spoiled by
him these last 5 years.
