[QUOTE="John SD, post: 908352, member: 14713"] Very few people ""here" use hay rings. Even the guys that sell them use the selling point that rings are most useful for small groups of cows confined to a small lot or corral. IMO, it is much more efficient to feed cows only what they will clean up in a day by unrolling a bale rather than feeding in rings. I don't own one, but every brand of hay ring I have ever seen seems to have large amounts of wasted hay around it with large amounts of manure/urine mixed in it. The bales from my Hesston 856A are pretty dang tight all the way through. The bales do roll out good and there is not much of a core left when done. If I really wanted to I would get out of the tractor and finish rolling it myself, but it is simply not worth it. The best way to roll them out is in the opposite direction from the way they were baled because they go much further that way. [/QUOTE]
