Ha!
No bale feeders. Just electric fence.
Allow the cattle only so much that they can eat in a day or two I think.
They waste some of it for sure....but its good for the soil.
Thats the story anyway.
I am MAGA.

I'm curious to hear how it works out.
Hopefully it'll be at least another 4-5 months.......

Several years I sold a horse to the daughter of a friend of mine. A few months later, the horse got sick and died. Though they never contacted me directly, I heard through the grapevine that they thought I'd sold them a sick horse.
Then, their other horses started getting sick and dying. Turns out they were feeding hay that had been net wrapped, and weren't removing the wrap. The horses were eating the wrap with the hay, and it was slowly killing them.
I like wrapped hay, as far as how good it keeps, but hate feeding it. Cutting that wrap off dulls my pocket knife quicker than anything will, and I can never think to carry something else with me. I should buy a good blade and just keep in the tractor. Interesting. First I've heard of horses eating wrap. Most of out round bales are string tied. Horses don't eat that either. Cattle on the other hand eat everything.
If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.
