I guess it is a little different in every area, so I am not going to say one is better than the other, instead I will share what I use and why.
I use a 5x6 and set the monitor to wrap at 68 inches.
More hay in the bale means less time wrapping and less time hauling.
A dozen sit better on my deck if they are just under 6 foot and I do not need to tie them down.
Hard on belts and bearings if you max out size on every bale.
Majority of my bales never see the road.
If I do have to buy feed I want the heaviest bales I can find, yes I have a scale.
It takes basically the same amount of time and fuel to haul little bales as it does to haul big ones, if I am going to move a few hundred bales 5-10 miles I want 1700 lb bales not 800 lb bales and twice the hauling.
And come winter I am not handling twice as many bales when I feed.
So for me personally little bales would have to be dirt cheap before I would even consider them.
Suppose if you are looking to market your feed to individuals that want a couple of bales at a time then a smaller bale might make them happy.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
