Title: Round bales of straw E Yorkshire
Post by: landroverroy on August 15, 2018, 04:52:42 pm
Wheat straw, well packed, (@240kg), suitable for feeding or bedding. Our cattle and donkeys actually prefer this to barley straw. £25/bale, or discount for quantity.

Because the bales are round they store well outside. Last winter we were using some that had been outside for 3 years. It was only the outer inch or so that was wet and our donkeys still ate it with relish.

Just out of interest what relish do they prefer ?

Taxi for the Bear !

Possibly Bransons is they're favourite. :thinking:
