Hay Experiment On The Farm | Feeding Cattle With Hay Rings VS Unrolling Hay

We have always fed our cows hay in the winter time in hay rings. The rings help contain the hay while allowing the cows to eat it. Another practice several people like to do is unroll the hay for the cows. There are pros and cons of doing it both ways. In this video we put out 2 hay bales in hay rings as well as roll out 2 hay bales. In our next video, we will take a look at what the cows ate and what they did not eat.

Great video! Get a Greg Judy hay unroller! U can pull it with your gator!! Rolling it out is always best!!!!!! Yes they do waste some but that stuff they wasted is feeding your worms and improving your soil health! I never feed in hay rings if I set hay out it’s in a ditch that needs filled in! Greg Judy says when u unroll hay you are putting 30-50 dollars worth of fertility on your ground. By unrolling hay on certain ground you can actually get rid of broom siege. Plus if your calving and feeding in hay rings u will notice you will have more scour problems in your cows verses unrolling!

Most people are going to miss it, but I knew exactly what you were talking it being a bad day about when I saw the Georgia Bulldogs coffee mug😳, I'll see if I can't find Y'all some AU coffee mugs😂😂, at least your coffee will taste better, No promises of on the field performance though🤪 Interested to see which both (cows and operators) prefer😉

Quick question related poultry house. What size battery respirator did he buy? They sale a medium and a large in that style but don’t offer a sizing chart to describe the different sizes on Amazon. And was gonna purchase one for my poultry houses and didn’t know which one to get

We feed a bale a day to limit waste - unroller makes the job easier too if you decide you like the option. Can you send that gator up to us for a while?? 😂

My cows definitely waste a lot more hay when unrolled what I do is put baleage in the racks and unroll dry hay they will sort through it and use the rest for bedding but the bulk of our hay is put up as baleage

I feel like mine waste too much when I unroll it. I built a trailer that will hold 5 rolls it’s seems to work somewhat better but they always going to waste it.

You cant have hay in rings and hay rolled out at same time....they will waste and lay in the unrolled hay.....try to unroll only...and only unroll what they eat each day.....its the only way unrolling will properly work

I have thought about this a ton, research has proven that unrolling wastes about 13%, where hay rings waste 5%. So I think the question comes down to can you fertilizer for less than 8% of your feed cost? But you'll probably still need to fertilizer ontop of unrolling anyway. Just food for thought. I'm a hobby farmer so take it with a grain of salt.

Taste test is one thing, unroll vs. hay ring won't show real results till summer in my opinion.

@user-tc3ou6sy5f

So.....why not try using smaller bales in the feeders ??? What to expect if you dump a huge pile of hay in a small area ??? Cows cant hover to eat ! With smaller bale.....cows are in and out much quicker. And less waste !
