[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 274997, member: 3162"] You are really close. To figure volume, you need base, width, and height. 4 by 6 is only two of the three dimensions. But since they are 6 foot "round", the round part is 6 by 6. So you could stick 1 round bale in a 6 by 6 by 4 cube, except that you are putting a circle in a square. Theoretically, you could put 833 bales in that barn. Problem is, when you stack rounds, you can offset them. So the real answer is going to be in the proximity of 1000. I figure you can get 250 bales in the bottom roll. You can also get 250 bales in the third roll. It is possible to get 240 in the second and fourth rolls. 980? That hay had better be awful dry or else the whole barn will burn down. Who puts round bales in barns? So you put 1 round bale in the barn and it fills with cows? I don't have enough cows to fill a barn that big. I certainly don't have 980 rounds. So my answer is, I can't fill a barn that big. [/QUOTE]
