I'm considering getting some round bales this winter. We don't have any means of moving a round bale so I'll have to have it delivered and placed where I want it.
I only have one full-sized horse and one mini. It will take them a long time to go through a round bale. We don't have a covered round bale feeder either.
I was thinking of putting the round bale underneath the overhang of our barn, in our barnyard where our horses already go in and out of the barnyard as well as their stalls.
They could have access to the bale 24/7, but I still have the option of limiting their access by closing the pasture gate or putting them in their stalls, so it would be a controlled situation.
What do you think? Any problems with that scenario? Does it sound like a good plan?
