[QUOTE="ToddFarmsInc, post: 545276, member: 8301"] it also depends on the length of time the round bales sit outside in the elements. I've had some bales in the past that sat outside so long, they become ditch filler. We set up a large pole shed and we can store a few of our better round bales under a roof. we stack our round bales on ground with a slope, so there is a nature water runoff when it rains. That helps, Also butting the bales up tight back to back helps. One year we tried stacking two rows close together and a third row on top. That didn't work too well, the rain water ran around the top bales and then set inbetween the top row and the bottom row, and I think that year we had more rot than placing the rows all at ground level. The best way to eliminate round bale hay spoilage, is to bale the hay in small square bales, and stack them in the barn. ;-) [/QUOTE]
