Obviously, you don't have a clue. Most balers wraps the big bales with a
waterproof material so they can be left out year around. They are moved
out of the hay field but normally simply to an open area where the
livestock cannot get to them.


Most?

Hell, most farmers just leave the bales right there in the field, wide open exposed to the weather. Only the "rich" farmers have wrappers.

There is some damage, but usually they just grind the whole bale up and mix the good in with the bad and feed to the livestock anyway.


How exactly do you grind up hay?
Animals won't eat rotten hay.
