The simple measure of good silage, does it pass the wife test when you climb into bed after the last look round the cows.
If she says Mmmmmmm all the hard work in June was well worth it
If she says "blooody hell that`s horrible", ---- It`s going to be a long winter
More likely, "Don't think you're sleeping in here tonight smelling like that"

Rubberised gloves is a must if the bales are dripping wet, but this year’s are dry so all good here. Wet rank handbags are the worst ones.That smell doesn’t go away.:hungover:

If I were to make any of Mrs NeilO’s handbags stink of manky silage I fear I would be in the doghouse for a good few months.:(

Chap had a mixed farm down the road, used to contract rear pigs too, I went to guzzle his slurry out and he met me looking unusuallly smart. He'd got news he was a dad, he'd just returned from hospital where wife had given birth. All fit and healthy but said he'd never felt so embarrassed, worried about the pig smell, he'd showered and scrubbed up beforehand, but once in the warmth and stress of the labour room his palms got sweaty, the nurse asked what the smell was and his wife shouted, feckin round bales! The nurse sent him away to try and freshen himself up, thankfully he got back before the show was over.

Yes - using latex gloves when handling round bales is the answer, a box of 100 odd is only a few quid.
