Yep, I was told by a farming buddy, who usually has around 80 total acres of alfalfa, that we wouldn’t have to worry much about storing small square bales, we would sell most of it without a problem. He also said, if we give a small discount, people will often come and pick it up right out of the field.
Well, one of them is well cared for in the cool room right now….
Thus you see his reason for the small discount.
I think they're smarter than cows, I've been doing this for several years and rarely do they eat that much at a time, even when they're there a while. Every single day, there are deer on the 2 bales I put out 3 weeks ago, and they've hardly put a dent in the amount of hay yet. I would be more worried in an area unlike yours and ours, that didn't have much food, or natural forage.
