They are 6 string bales that are near impossible to break. 3x4 bales stacked 6 high. 3X6+18 so it is 18 feet to the top of the stack. The elk mostly eat on the bottom bale. Maybe a little on bale #2. Bales 3, 4, 5, & 6 are just fine. Only the bottom bale has much damage and that is from what they ate. The elk spook when the stack falls over and most likely leave. The top 5 bales just get loaded on a truck or wagon and fed. He has a tractor with a grapple that loads up that bottom bale which is fed. He feeds 23 bales a day so it is no problem cleaning up the mess and feeding it first thing in the morning leaving nothing laying on the ground for the elk to mess up the next night.
