phishstik - 10/4/2022 17:58 There was a study I read in a dairy magazine and 24 hours makes no difference at all. 48 hours was slight loss in quality.

I would bet that 24 and 48 hour hay was darn near dry.  As said above, the higher moisture the hay, the sooner it should be wrapped. I've had some mid moisture hay I wrapped 2 or 3 days after baling and it had a lot of white mold when I went to feed it.  I need good hay, not compost.



I've made a habit of baling late afternoon, gathering bales into the night, then wrapping first thing the next morning with no issues.
