I was about to post that question, too.

That is a good question.


I do not like the idea of plastic build-up in the herd cow's bellies so I actually remove the wrap before chopping the bales. 95% of the time anyway....


It takes a little longer but is actually pretty easy to do, especially during a year like this when there is very little ice on the bales.


Tomorrow I will slice the wrap on the loaded bale, rotate the bale and remove the wrap. The bale on the platform is even easier, slice the wrap and just pull it off.

Cows don't see any plastic, fields don't see any plastic and I don't have to clean the rotor near as often!
