an idea for your stone trap I have seen is putting a concrete slab beside it so when cleaning it out you put solids on the pad to dry out and liquids run back into stone trap then once dry you can spread out using a fert spreader
G day from the Mid North Coast of NSW. Josh I feel for ya. I've had my calves do the same thing. Lost about 30 bales as well...until I set up a separate electric fence for for the silage. Now they dont even look at it. Stored most of the damaged bales in my shed. Silage here cost about 80 to 100. So not wasting any.
Hmmm not really once the air gets in… if we re wrap it would most likely spoil and create mould. I had to feed them within the week which was a challenge!

Great idea! Most silage is worth around $150 bale here, which is definitely higher than normal!
Need a bit of tape to patch them bales up
😂😂
Feel your heartache over the hay
Bloody cows, ya can’t trust them 😂🤣😂. Must say you scrub up alright Josh tie and all 😊
All that work’s coming along nicely.
I can just imagine the frustration with the cattle. Any chance you could re-bale them to cut your losses?
