We have a small family farm with a couple dozen cattle. A neighbor has done our haying for 40 years with small square bales for 1/2 the hay. This year we won't have enough so we have to buy some and were thinking on trying round bales. Found a good deal on 800 lb bales trouble is they are 2x what we feed in hay a day.
Any tips on splitting round bales?
Roll out half n put the rest back?
Put the bale out whole n let them eat on it for 2 days?
Between the grapple n the forks I assume I can handle them easily enough.
As you can tell by all the questions I am a fisherman not a farmer
