How far away from animal barn would you put your hay shed? I'm planning on tinning over an old portable shelter so I can buy square bales in bulk. Round bales are more economical per lb but I have no equipment to handle them...

I keep mine close enough to be easy to feed, far enough to keep animals out. Heck, I even fill my trailer, park it close & move bales from there :idunno it sits unused a lot, so why load & unload several times? Fence & hotwire around shed near animal pastures. I've not had more than chickens or a cat get into mine. And I have 🤭 goats!

I use squares because it's easier on ME. I'm considering a couple rounds for Jan/Feb...not yet decided. Simply cost effect, because I can keep the hay feeders full. ALL feed is high & rising. 😩🫨

Today has gone beyond chilly to downright cold!! I'm going to work shortly! With lots of layers on 😉. I work to feed animals!
