[QUOTE="anewcomer, post: 1814328, member: 18748"] After following hay feeding threads here for several years, I don’t think I would be off base to say, from the standpoint of cow nutrition and economy, unrolling the amount of hay that cows will clean up in a day is clearly the best option available. Time and labor considerations and regularity of feeding certainly factor in, but in a perfect world, we would roll out daily. The problem is that for those on heavy soils, in parts of the country where the ground doesn’t freeze, rolling out with a tractor is not feasible. Just placing bales in different spots every few days or even weekly becomes a nightmare. Damage to pastures is irreparable, not to mention the advanced level of equipment required over normal ranching requirements (4WD,etc.). For those of us in heavy rainfall, heavy soils environments, an unroller pulled by a 4-wheeler or side by side is the perfect if not only solution. [/QUOTE]
