Re: [RC] Feeding round bales - patty peckI fed a round bale for the first time ever this year. The weather was forcasted to be cold and I was anticipating working a lot of long days.
I do not have a tractor or a "feeder", I had the supplier place the bale on my truck bed, figured out where I wanted it and back-up, hit the brakes and it rolled right out. The bale was wrapped in white plastic so I cut "feed holes" in it and my three horses consumed it in two weeks without a lot of waste. It was a GREAT way to feed for me with the bad weather, (lots of snow), I didn't stress about them not having anything to eat when I was tied up at work for 16 or more hours. I'd do it again in a heart beat.
