I'm getting some good information to set me in the right direction, thanks!
The comment about using square bales though, I should tell you I have to do this work myself.
I can't see me out there picking up square bales and hauling them back to the barn and stacking them.
There's a lot of labor there! I want to save as much labor as I can since I have MS and throwing bales would be quite fatiguing without the disease!!!
Round bales are not so labor intensive in quite a few catagories and are very popular for the area horse and cattle farms as far as selling. A lot easier to store too. This was my reasoning for the round bales.
Right now, I utilize roughly 600 square bales a year and it's quite expensive compared to round bales.
I do agree that it's costly paying 10 bucks a throw to have the farmer move the round bales, but I was hoping to save myself some labor on the horses rather than carrying a couple of bales out to them each day. My barn is only set up to hold 300 bales at a time and the round bales were purchased to assure me that I would have enough hay to get the goats through the winter.
Up until yesterday, the horses depleted quite a bit of square bales before the weather broke enough that I could get out there and hand pull hay off of the round bales myself and drag it on a tarp to them.
I can set the barn up for round bales for the goats and not have to play games with squares any more. Diana H
