200 a ton delivered but i buy in 3000 ton lots.
Why unload it a flake at a time?
Run a chain around it and tie off to the bottom of a good soild post. You on a dry lot out there ?

No cattle about 1500 head of horses
What kind of crazy man would want that many horses!! We do big round bales, and little square bales [/quote] The kind of guy that gets $5 bucks a head a day, from the BLM to feed em.

I don't think you could find a round bale within 500 miles of me. Its pretty much all rounds here. If you get west to eastern MT, where the iriagate there are some big squares. Wa it is mostly big squares.

This is how we do ours. 54 inch balage rounds wrapped in a tube. Feed about 30 a day in the winter. Less when we have pasture.
I'm sure glad I don't have your feed bill LOL. Out west wrapping keeps the weather our and allows the inside to cure even if it was a little "tough" at baling time.
Do you have to dry a wind row down really well to do it that way?

A couple of contract bailing outfits from Lancaster County that do those big bails of straw here. They sit all winter out in the weather without any plastic wrap and get picked up in the spring. I have heard that they are being used to grow mushroom in mushroom farms in Avondale PA...but I can't confirm that.
