I'm thinking of getting round bales this year 4x4 bales, not the humongous ones. It will save me some money and the farmers around here bale a lot in round bales and its still good quality horse hay. It would be easier to have it delivered and unloaded in my one area of the barn vs. unloading and stacking small square bales.
I'm just not sure how to feed from round bales? How do I know how much to fork to each horse? Should I try standing one in the pasture and just letting the horses eat from that? I've never fed off of round bales before, just wondering how other people manage with them. Love them, hate them? Pros and cons?
