We roll and stack end to end as you do butted up to each other. Do not stack where rows of bales touch eacher side by side....leave at least walking distance between rows. Stack N-S so that sun can keep area dry between rows.

Best to stack on well drained gravel. If none, on the side of a hill so water can run off, not sit.

When you use from the row, pull from the bottom (of the hill) first. That will reduce water puddling and help on the bales and also reduce your opportunity to make ruts and get stuck. You'd be surprised how well a well tied (twine)bale will weather 6-9 months of captivity before feeding.
