[QUOTE="mtncows, post: 312915, member: 4692"] I bought a Worksaver 3pt unroller in 1990 when we went to a 5X5 bale.I have unrolled and fed in rings both.A small bunch of cattle get fed in rings and the larger ones have it unrolled most of the time.If you are feeding in rings you need at least one hole per cow or have very good hay.I made the mistake of putting too many cows in a field one year then it got wet and I couldn't get on the hills to unroll so I dumped a bale in a ring each day for 18-20 cows.Hay was not too good but had them on a lick tank.By spring I had buried two cows.Vet said one was malnourished.The other was also but i was lax about getting salt out once and when I fed it,I think one of the cows ate too much causing a stroke.Symptoms like grass tetany but when vet stuck her with IV needle we had a gyser Blood pressure must have been real high.
