[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1272225, member: 24027"] If it's the white spore type of mold it can evidently cause a lot of damage, even to humans (I believe it's called Farmer's Lung) if inhaled in significant amounts. A little mold won't damage the entire bale but if you hit the bale or break it open & see a cloud of white dust I wouldn't feed it & generally the cows won't eat it (like Nesikep said, they will pick thru). We ended up with quite a few bales of moldy alfalfa last year and since it was such a brutal winter rolled it out as bedding. Welcome & good luck! [/QUOTE]
