The money should always go towards feeding cattle first if they need it, not hoping it saves some hay.
Run some numbers - say the processor does an amazing job and saves 10 bales over the winter. 10x40=400 dollars saved, 10 bales will get you thru an extra week tops, then they have to eat the processor.
$5000 processor/40= 125 bales. Which is a month and a half more of feeding.
