Well, let's see why I still use small squares. . . Feeding about 10 horses from mid-December til spring (have enough pasture to last until December). Have a 7 stall barn, with a hay loft over the center alley, and feeders to drop hay into along the side. I put up (or buy) 500 bales a year, which fills the loft. We use a loft, because I can feed in 5 minutes in the morning before work, and the Mrs. can feed, water, grain, etc. at night without bucking bales- you just cut the twines where they lay and drop into feeders. There isn't any part of round bale feeding that we could do- couldn't store them, couldn't feed without hauling and unrollilng outside in the mud, couldn't get them into the loft, etc. Also, in our country, people tend to bale rounds a little on the moist side, which works OK for cattle, but is death on horses- we need it bone dry. As long as there are folks like us, there will be guys out putting up little squares (re re-baling dry rounds into squares during the winter to sell). All that being said, if I ever went back into cattle, I'd have a round baler in a heartbeat.
