These are 5x4 heavy rounds that James baled for me. Even if I could turn it, I doubt it would make a difference because the horses have access to everything but the bottom and the back side.
I do have 3 other bales. I"ll try pulling some from one of the other bales and see if they"ll eat it.
Since the horses never get anything with molasses on it, I wanted to see if they would eat the dry molasses before I sprayed the bale. I put some of the dry molasses in their feed last night (they don"t get much, less than a quart) to see if they would reject it. They ate it just fine.
Since they ate the grain with the dry molasses, I made some liquid. I put about a cup of the dry molasses in a bucket and put about 1.5 gals of hot water in it. The dry molasses dissolved quickly. Then sprayed some on the hay. They still wouldn"t eat it. Put some more in the sprayer and sprayed again. Still no takers. Finally just dumped the remaining molasses on the bale. One horse ate a few mouthfuls, but then walked away.
One of my horses sniffed around at the hay and literally curled his lip up.
Can"t blame them if they don"t like molasses. I think its awful.
