[QUOTE="TLCfromARK, post: 258587, member: 198"] I agree with the posters who roll out their round bales but we do use a few hay rings where we winter our heifers. Pros: Cows don't tear up the pasture in wet weather. Meeker cows & calves don't have to compete as much. Less waste ( for us at least ). The scraps that left don't pile up as bad. We feed over a 80 acre field during the winter. Cons: More labor intensive ( we roll out by hand most of the time, not many hills where we feed. I've tried using tractor but don't seem to have the knack. Have to feed more often. We feed daily but don't feel it's much more of a problem because my brother or I check the cows daily anyway. It comes down to what works best in your area for you. "Opinions are like feet, everybody's got them & most of them stink." ;-) [/QUOTE]
