What happens here

Josh positions the bale unroller next to a large round hay bale. He then operates a manual winch on the trailer to lift and secure the hay bale onto the unroller's frame. Once the bale is loaded, he uses a pair of snips or pliers to carefully cut and remove the plastic or twine strings that bind the hay bale together. This is crucial to prevent the cows from ingesting the strings, which could harm their digestive system.

Goal: Josh uses a winch on the bale unroller to load a round hay bale and then removes the securing strings.

What they say

Hide

land to the cattle these bales are fairly light only about 600 pounds five to six hundred [Music] so each hay bale has to be meticulously managed in other words we cannot allow the cows to eat the string off the hay bales so every day this is a daily process and it doesn't require much energy i guess when it comes down to it just a little bit of thought every day we go through and cut the strings on the bales make sure we don't accidentally have a cow eat a haystring because that could mess up a cow's digestive system gotta care for the land as well as our livestock and ourselves the show must go on here
