Theres a difference between net wrapped bales, and what we call around here bale wrap or baleage.
I net wrap all my hay, for cows or horses. Net wrap basically takes the place of twine. If hay is stored outside, it keeps better net wrapped than with twine. Hay still has to be dry to bale it.
Bale wrap is more like bagging silage. The hay is cut, baled wet, then bagged. It kind of goes thru the same fermenting process and ends up like silage(haylage).
To me, if you have the choice between net wrap and twine, and need to store the hay outside, I would definately have it net wrapped.
Baleage is big around here for dairy, they unbag the bale and run it in a TMR mixer basically as hi protien silage. Definately not for horses, youd have some serious bloating, twisted stomach, foundering going on.
