[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1838081, member: 32879"] The rolls weigh at least 800 or a little more, good tight rolls with net wrap and little spoilage this very dry year. I normally roll them out or feed in a ring. This time I just removed the wrap and dropped them on high spots in the field. I was surprised at how little they wasted, the hay was just gone. Of course frozen ground helps make for less waste. I still feed a lot of square bales. I attend a regular Amish hay auction during the winter and try to pick up bargains I aim for a half bale per cow per day, about 30 pounds. I was just surprised at how quickly they cleaned up the rolls. Five below zero must make a difference. Thanks farmerjan, I always enjoy your posts and find them informative. [/QUOTE]
