[QUOTE="dun, post: 85905, member: 34"] It's hard to picture the volume of feed and I don;t know about the percentage of nutrition, but the outside 6 inches is a significatn percentage of the total volume of the bale. I had read a study a couple of years ago about the amount of waste in outside stored round bales so I started messing with the mathematics of the volume of cylinders. I don;t recall off hand what the amount was but it seems like it was around a quarter or more of the total. Starts making even the cheap 20 dollar hay pretty darn expensive. That's the reason it's claimed, probably by the folks that build them, that a hay storage building will pay for itself quicker then any other type of improvement dun [/QUOTE]
