[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1588000, member: 37967"] I would NOT jam them end to end. I have done it both ways and room between the bales is far better. Line your bales up in an east to west pattern too, they will take less brunt of the weather, at least around here. When you jam them together, they don't breathe and they begin to rot, it helps to trap water. Of course, if you are in a dry place this is irrelevant, but in Kentucky, it's a different story. I've learned this from experience and not pulling it out of thin air. On top of that, two top hay producers in my area recommended that I do that when they delivered hay to me and saw that I had them packed together. [/QUOTE]
