Dang guys, I'm almost afraid to offer an opinion here. But at the risk of doing something wrong, here it is anyway. I'm not a big time operator. I bale about 20 - 25 acres of hay each year using my sickle bar mower and square baler. I feed my hay in the winter when my grass pastures are weak. My hay is all fescue or fescue/clover mix. Last year I bush hogged and baled about 3 or 4 acres of fescue. It dried quickly and compacted nicely in good tight bales. However, my cows hated it and my horses absolutely would not eat it. They ate leaves, weeds, and some old round hay that I thought I had hauled far enough away that they wouldn't bother with. I think that it probably had to do with the texture of the hay. It was very finely chopped in relation to my hay that was mowed with the sickle bar. I don't know. Maybe I just have fussy livestock, but I guarantee that I will never bale bush hoggged hay again. Please be nice. I'm very easily hurt. Tom in TN
