[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1734584, member: 26138"] From what I've seen it takes a day or so of mild temps for an opened bale to start heating. It takes the better part of a week for it to really start decaying and molding to the point where you wouldn't want to feed it by itself or to cows that aren't already healthy. As Jeanne says, they will sometimes step over the good stuff to eat the steaming pile of crap. We feed all of it, if the bale is really bad I will either unroll the whole thing in the pasture and let them pick through it (they'll get the good feed in the bunks as well) or slip it in the mixer a little at a time.
