[QUOTE="simme, post: 1813916, member: 40418"] If you want to minimize waste, unroll every day and just what they will eat that day. If you unroll enough for several days, there will be a lot of waste. If you want to put out enough rolls for several days of feed, put it in a ring or some sort of feeder that limits access and keeps them from spreading it out so much. If you set out enough rolls for several days with no ring or feeder, they will spread it out, lay on it, crap on it and waste a lot. Correct that hay trampled into the mud and dirt will improve the soil, but I suspect that there are cheaper ways to improve soil than letting cows trample good hay into the mud. Fertilizer and cheap rotten junk hay must be a better value than using good quality hay to improve soil. I am too poor and too cheap to put out $50 hay for soil quality. [/QUOTE]
