Subject: RE: Big round bale size, and why


North Central Texas		Over 3" here.

Small outfits want 4' here and big guys want 5x6. That's all due to the equipment to handle it. Bigger bales mean less total bales fed. It takes the same amount of time to load and unload a 4x as a 5x. The less you need, the better. It's not odd for guys east of me to feed 50 bales at a time each week on a single pasture. Most here are not going to feed daily as their pastures are spread out so once a week works good. Xx6 are a must since all hay is stored outside and it creates the least spoilage too along with less net wrap used per ton.
