[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1480213, member: 12607"] Still feeding on the pad today. Depending on how much it may dry out today, may try unrolling, at least for the Spring herd, tomorrow... but maybe not. May still be too muddy to attempt in the paddock where the Fall herd is. Don't have an 'unroller', we just drive to the spot - usually at the crest of the hill, or highest spot(s) in the paddock, unwrap, and roll it downhill - usually have to give it a shove/flip with the FEL, but after that I can usually keep it rolling on my own, and, if it's not going too fast on it's own, I can 're-route' trajectory somewhat along the way. I try to unroll in a different spot every day - and with 10 acres in each paddock, I've been able to do that so far this winter... about 3 months' worth of feeding, so far. Mid-TN & price asked about pad size. Ours is an 'L', essentially 80x30, with a 30x16 leg off one side. Easily accomodates 5 bale rings, with plenty of room between them for cows. Cow herd numbers are approximately 40 each in the two herds, with the Fall herd also still carrying the 35 or so Sept/Oct calves. [/QUOTE]
