To each his own; I've no argument with anyone who wants to cut/pull strings. I was in the cattle BUSINESS. Anyone who says they've never lost a cow, is, of course, lying........unless perhaps they were running a hobby. Can't remember ever losing a cow to unknown causes, but won't say that it didn't happen. I fed 30-35 big round bales at-a-time, typically split amongst 6 different locations around the Southern half of my county. Don't know how long it would've taken to remove the strings from that many bales each time and don't care. I sold 'em all about 5 or 6 years ago and retired......after being in the business for 47 years. The ONLY problem I had with strings was the year I got 'smart' and used plastic twine; never again!! If I were doing it again, I might change the layout of some cross fences, build one of the corrals a little differently, NOT buy a Charolais bull, buy more Beefmaster bulls, etc. I WOULDN'T waste time pulling strings off of bales of hay.
