The number 1 question asked about round bale hay nets: What happens to the netting as the bale is eaten down?Updated 5 months ago

This is our number one most common question asked in relation to using a round bale hay net.  What happens is simple... nothing!  There isn't any huge amount of netting laying around in the road, the excess netting doesn't cause any issues, it doesn't become harder to eat out of, it doesn't create problems for the horses or livestock using it.  The is no issue with excess netting as the hay spreads own within the confines of the net so that the net is still firm until there is barely any hay left in it.

This is best illustrated with the following photos showing start, mid use and towards the end of the round bale.
