[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1196868, member: 18809"] No panties in a wad, that would be uncomfortable! But, 4% is a huge amount if you are feeding a bunch. 4% x 1200 bale = 48 pounds per bale x 100 bales (just to make the math easy) is over 4800 pounds of hay saved! That is huge to me. Of course, I am not into waste or loss if I can help it. And I agree about the shirt buttons! Or fingers, anything small enough to hung up on it. Since I started cutting the net with a knife straight across the bale side, I can easily pull it off with one tug, and roll it and not get anything hung up most of the time. And we just burn the stuff out here; toss it in the burn barrel as we walk by. I have been using the same knife for the second winter now, and am wondering when the blade will go dull? Probably on the coldest, hardest day to remove the stuff! :P [/QUOTE]
