Hay - Round Bale or "square" flakes

[ksj0225]

"by pulling the hay out and filling feeders by hand"

That is what we do. We have a huge horse barn with no horses!!!

We use the "waste" as bedding for the rabbits, chickens, etc..

But the bales are sitting on concrete, so it's not really dirty...

Here square bales are 4-6 bucks and rounds are about 25 bucks.

I used to feed large round bales. I'd just set it on end and unwrap it with a pitchfork and fork it into feeders. It worked pretty well, but now I feed small square bales because it's just more convenient.

Thanks for the input. It sounds like for me the round bales would be more work.
