Bale Bonnets

[Stocker Steve]

I am looking to spot individual round bales in a pasture for winter feeding. This would be second or third crop hay that would be used in about 6 months. Do you have any experience with the life or effectiveness of reusable sleeves (about $3 each) or bale bonnets (about $9 each) out of Cynthiana, OH?

If its the same folks, I think it is get the super bonnet. It will cover 20 5/6 bales, and I have used mine for 10 years. They are tough and they made it though Hurricane Rita no worse for the wear

Yes - they offer a 10 mil thick super bonnet for $165 w/ fastening hardware, or $115 w/o hardware.

How do you fasten your super bonnet?
