[QUOTE="Keren, post: 610629, member: 3195"] We take the netting and twine off for the cattle. With the goats, we leave the bales with the twine on. They have actually done studies to show that goats will eat more and they digest it better if they are having to pull and rip it out of the bale. It mimicks browsing more closely. Just as an aside. With those round bale feeders with the hoops that they put their neck through, I have lost them before because another cow rams them while they have their head in the hoops, and it breaks their neck. We just roll it out. If we roll it out they eat most of it, leave it in a whole bale they tend to just sleep in it and waste it. [/QUOTE]
