[QUOTE="mitchwi, post: 258562, member: 2063"] Regional variances are the key: This is how we do it and we are in Wisconsin - We put out enough round bale feeders that there is more than enough room for every animal and then some. Only start tractors once a week. Whole process of feeding hay takes about hour and half to two hours, from clean up of feeders to then hauling the hay out. Before we put the new hay in we move the feeders and clean out the stuff still in the bottom, throw what is good and they missed into new location and spread out the rest for a bit of ground cover, this also helps in the spring for ground work when there is no big chunks to try and get through. We have recently, started picking different fields every fall that is going to be dug and seeded (corn) in the spring. This has saved us $$ two fold... no fertilizer in the spring (for that field) and and no wasted fuel/tractor/time in the spring for cleaning up to spread manure. This is what works for us, but may not be right for the next... Michele [/QUOTE]
