[QUOTE="sunnyblueskies, post: 1814102, member: 39112"] Question: You didn't say how many cows and if you take 2-3 bales a day. We feed 2-3 bales a day. Depended for years on a hill to unroll the bales, which was fine, but it does build up over the years if you always feed in the same spot. Or, if you have a fence on the bottom of a hill where you unroll....... you find yourself replacing fence posts a lot. =D Bought a "unroller" about 6 years ago and wonder why we didn't get one earlier. You are not stuck to a specific lay of the land to feed, or feed location in general. Sure they will walk on it, but unless you always feed on the same spot there really isn't any build up or waste to worry too much about. It also spreads the animals out over a bigger area and gives less aggressive cows a chance to eat more in peace and quiet. So, less fighting. Plus, as somebody else mentioned earlier, you can feed a partial bale and keep the rest for the next feeding, or a different group of animals in a different pasture. I think you can tell........ we love ours. =D [/QUOTE]
