[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 76010, member: 1292"] We have used cornstalk bales but only in areas where we can get the stuff back off. It is only a temporary fix used only when we have to get the work done at that time and want to make things easier for the cattle - and for us. You do want to clean it back out though. Fences get real short, real quick. It does increase bacteria and disease if left. Foot rot can become a real problem, real soon in lots. I wouldn't do the hay thing. I know what kind of mess we get around our hay ring feeders. Ends up being the deepest spots of muck. Baseballfan - why so hostile? Not every idea will work in every location and every situation. I really appreciate when others point out the advantages and disadvantages to an idea. Saves a LOT of pain, aggrevation, and expense! Asking questions gives a better idea of how you are doing it and whether it will work for me. We call ourselves a mom and pop operation. There are bigger guys with bigger pocketbooks out there but I am always happy to share what I am doing and how I am doing it. I am proud of what I do. I get real leery of people when they react the way you did. Makes me wonder - DO you have cattle? What kind of condition are they in? What condition is your operation in? How big is your dead pile? Would I want to eat what you produce? What are you trying to hide? If you are not proud enough of yours to talk about it then maybe you should just listen for a while longer and try to implement some of the other ideas on this board. Come back when you ARE proud. I don't mean to be coming down on you too hard but neither does anyone else want to be yelled at by you. Most times questions are real ones - and this board IS for learning. [/QUOTE]
