Thank you @farmerjan !
I believe the bales were loaded with the rounded side up. There is one bale that was wrapped in the white plastic that looks like a giant marshmallow(lol) so that one I'm not worried about. The rest were string tied. Currently they are all covered with a tarp kinda like such (picture not mine, I didn't take a pic of my hay). But that's temporary for now. I will have to move some more pallets out near the fence so that I can unload these bales off the trailer. After that I will get it covered up better.

Except the parts they left sticking out the end, the picture above IS the correct way to tarp hay. The tarp sheds water down to the 3 or 9 0'clock position of the bottom row bales, and the rain just follows those bales' contour on down to the ground. It's tented, not completely covered and the tenting allows for air circulation.
