[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 1785404, member: 15537"] I think with 24" of snow you would want to skip the bale ring. That would be a pain to wrestle a bale ring around in that much snow. I don't think the waste would be as high on a thick layer of snow, but I could be wrong. I don't have experience bale grazing in 24" of snow. I have only done it with bale rings in the past and my cows didn't waste all that much more when compared to other feeding methods I have tried. Mud is the main problem here. Mine waste far more if I roll out a bale. I have been running an electric fence down the edge of the unrolled hay to keep them from walking on it. That seems to do the trick pretty well. Even with that a bale lasts just as long if I am bale grazing with a bale feeder as it does if I unroll the hay. That has been my experience. [/QUOTE]
