And with a pitch fork, it just kind of unrolls and falls off, as you make a few piles out the bale. You can feed one of these bales a day for 30 head or so. Cattle eat 30 lbs a day roughly. A maturing, weaned calf, 20 lbs. Much easier than working with those "primitive" little square bales!<br /><br />Would this photo be in Firvale on the North Side?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984494962567056095.post-43961522995539964382012-07-10T12:39:21.183-07:002012-07-10T12:39:21.183-07:00I've seen the big large bales in the fields. ...I've seen the big large bales in the fields.
