[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 1656233, member: 15537"] I do both and agree with both comments above. In terms of soil impact, bale grazing is going to put more pressure on a smaller area. Unrolling is lighter pressure on a larger area. There is a place for both. I unroll hay without starting a tractor also, so the savings of not starting the tractor isn't exclusive to bale grazing. I set the bales on the top of the hill in the fall, spaced a few feet apart. All I have to do is cut the strings and I can push them down the hill. I can't always control how they go down the hill, but they will go down! I will run a single strand of electric fence over the unrolled bale to keep the cows from walking on it. [/QUOTE]
