[QUOTE="Bullring, post: 6728183, member: 127"] I wouldn’t say it saves straw as such over the course of a winter, what it does do is enable you to put straw where you want it, if cattle only need half a bale then that’s what you put in whereas you would have to use the whole bale if you took the netwrap off and spread it by hand. I find little and often is better as you end up with a better bed. I bed up a shed with 60 cattle in every day with 1 bale whereas if I had to do it by hand I would probably use 3 bales every 2 days so there is some saving in straw. I use mine for straw and bales silage and putting through 5 bales a day. [/QUOTE]
