[QUOTE="chaded, post: 1785556, member: 33922"] Waste can very much be an indicator of what kind of hay you have in combination to how much you are giving them. I have baled grazed and unrolled and what I found is with either system you don’t give them more then they need. It may take a couple tries if you are just starting it to figure it out. Also, if you make them clean it up better they catch on that they don’t get more until they do. If it’s not something they like, obviously they will waste more. Especially if you give them too much. If i unroll a bale of our johnsongrass hay you will be hard pressed to see where it was other then the manure piles. Ripe first cutting stuff there is more left. My preferred method is unrolling with the side by side and then kicking it over in half to make a windrow. They don’t seem to walk down the middle of it as much that way. I’m not doing bale grazing anymore because here it is too muddy in the winter and pastures don’t recover as fast. [/QUOTE]
