[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 151873, member: 1258"] We use poly and I hate the stuff. In nice weather it takes no time to get it all off but when it gets frozen on it is a pain. Of course it always gets frozen on here with our Chinooks. I would like to switch to something biodegradable but wonder how long the strings would hold though and how they hold up to mice and weather. We had one cow who LOVED eating the twine. She would come up to the bale and purposely pull it off the bale to eat and off I would be running after her to try to get it back. I wrap the twine up and put it in the back of the truck (flatbed) and go to cut the next bale. Well, this crazy cow ran up and grabbed the balled up string and took off. I did catch her that time. I don't know how much string she did manage to eat without me knowing. She started doing it as a calf though and continued for the 12 years she was here so I bet she managed to sneak some. Always a healthy, fat cow with a good calf too. All I can figure is that she saw it was what we took from the bale so figured it had to be the best. :lol: [/QUOTE]
