[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 8166172, member: 17508"] 2020 we were tidying up the back of our silage bale heap before putting that years crop in... there were some bales with string on them which had been built in but never gotten back to, to use. The wrap was ok-ish. We opened them up and dumped them on an old stone bing out with the cows (summer) and they ate almost all of it with no ill effects. Without knowing exactly when those bales were made, I'd guess they were 18-22 years old when we fed them out I say that knowing the string baler (Krone kr125) was last used in 2002 - replaced with a Claas 255rotocut for the 2003 season... And I'd guess the bales were from some time between maybe 1998 and 2002. [/QUOTE]
