[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1780150, member: 25884"] Another thing... if the weather will cooperate... roll out these crappier bales... the cows will be less likely to pick up any wire/metal if it can fall to the ground rather than be in a big mouthful they pull out of the bale... You would need to go along with a magnet thing to maybe cleanup some of the little pieces of metal, but they will be less likely to get a piece stuck in their mouth/throat/jaw if the \hay is "loose" on the ground rather than rolled in a tight bale and pulled out to eat. I well understand about crap that gets into bales... we have a couple hayfields alongside roads.. all sorts of garbage in them.... so unrolling will at least give the heavier stuff like some cable/metal/glass a chance to work it's way down through since they will not be as likely to have it in a mouth full they pull out.
