    And it's always the tail end that gets baled up and and as soon as you pick it he goes berserk, striking at every movement.

    I worked at Penn State for 3 summers. They had 4-5 balers and 15-20 wagons going at once. Hay was never ending. We had the beef, sheep, dairy and horse barns to fill. They baled a rough, stemmy alfalfa that tore your arms up. Can’t say it was as fun as helping friends back home.

    Well. a shed, open to the south. With a hayrack with a feed trough under it and square bales. Carry 6 square bales out on the back of a 8N Ford tractor; on a platform on the 3 point hydraulics ,with1 sack of meal. Shake out the sack; bust the bales, feed in done. Your hay pulled out and on ground, mine fell in the trough and they ate it to get to the meal. I know, old time and equipment...

    So we wised up.. Got one of the circular balers. Wrop it tight, cut some long poles and lay them 2.5 feet apart on a rise (drainage), stack that fields baling on the poles (keep the mold down). Feeding is when they waddle over to eat it. Never had a cow bloat on hay, unlike K31 Fescue and Ladino clover.

    Now he's brought up wrapping. When to unwrap, where do you put it and how do you dispose of?

    I'm totally with you on the edible underwear, but that description of the act is at least as bad as a friend 40 years ago who mentioned glazed donuts as part of his enthusiastic account of a night with his girlfriend. I mean, I'm with @Opus on this one. TMI.
