[QUOTE="Dog Bowl, post: 8100403, member: 4489"] A field clamp sounds great in the spring time when the ground is bone dry. Chop the grass, heap it up, quick roll and chuck a sheet over it. However, I shudder at the thought of the mess and waste in the winter when feeding it back out. Tried an ag bag a few years ago, whilst it ensiled well we struggled with mess when feeding it back out and birds constantly pecking the ag bags, resulting in a lot of waste come the end. Its also a bit of a faff getting the silage out of them tidily. Stick with the bales. Yes the plastic is more money but it does provide you with utter flexibility in terms of feeding the right forage to the right group of cattle. That in itself is a money saver. [/QUOTE]
