Round Bales Bring Infield Feeding Gains For Cattle
Penn State animal scientist Dr. Lowell L. Wilson notes round hay bales fed in the field save labor and match quality of barn stored hay. He cites field tents shed rain, grazing efficiency, and the rise of large bale and stack machines. Field grazing with electric fencing boosts cow-days per acre, while careful management avoids grass crowding and bare spots. Continuous experiments at Penn State continue to refine round bale feeding.
